Among food crop commodities, corn has become a central consideration in relation to national economy;however, massive domestic demand has been supplied by exported one, as most farmers still apply conventional cultivation. The objective of this literature review was to describe the implementation of integrated crop management of corn in supporting sustainable agriculture leading to increased productivity of corn. That most farmers rely on using excessive pesticide and fertilizer has caused fertile soil degradation leading to the decrease of production. Meanwhile, research findings showed that the implementation of integrated crop management of corn was able to increase production of corn by at least 10% compared to those of farmers-. Therefore, the suggestion proposed is that the integrated crop management of corn should be disseminated in a scale that every farmers might be able to adopt it.
