Abstract
In Indonesia, hot pepper ( Capsicum spp.) is the most important low elevation vegetable commodity in terms of production area and value. The yield levels are low (2.8 t ha −1 in 1989). Poor crop health, low quality of seed material, high production costs, fluctuating market prices, and farmers' lack of knowledge are major production constraints. Integrated crop management (ICM) is proposed to overcome major problems with crop health. ICM focuses on crop health by optimizing crop conditions. ICM seems to be a suitable approach for vegetable production under tropical lowland conditions, and should lead to ecologically, toxicologically and socio-economically sound practices,
