Integrated farming is a type of farming that aims to maximize the efficiency and productivity of the farm by integrating different types of crops and animals into a single system.

This approach to farming is based on the principle of maximizing the use of natural resources, such as soil, water, and sunlight, to produce a diverse range of crops and animals. Integrated farming also seeks to minimize the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and to promote the use of sustainable farming practices. Integrated farming is seen as a way to improve the sustainability and resilience of the farming sector, and to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture.

Managing weeds in arable rotations

AHDB Guide from 2021 incorporating WRAG guidelines. Weed control is vital for high yields of good-quality crops and to prevent the spread of pests and diseases, e.g. ergot. Yet with fewer active ingredients, a need to protect water and manage herbicide resistance, the weed challenge must be managed across the rotation.
