Mina rice is a technology that combines fish farming with rice cultivation. This system has several advantages such as: farmers will get additional income from fish without reducing the incomes of rice, increasing rice production, improve efficiency and productivity of the land, the rice plants become more controlled and meet the needs of animal protein. The assessment carried out by an integrated crop management (ICM) lowland swamp rice. The assessment was conducted in the village of Rantau Kapas Tuo District Muaro Tembesi Batanghari regency of Jambi Province in April and August 2012. The assessment aims to determine the level of growth and yield of rice and fish on rice farming mina.

New varieties (VUB) rice used is Inpara 3 seed and fish used is Tilapia. The study showed that rice production is 6.85 t/ha and survival rate of fish was 75%. The assessment is seen that by applying mina rice cultivation with rice integrated crop management (ICM) earned income of Rp 14.11 million (B/C ratio 1.1) and the non ICM and an income of Rp 2.485 million (B/C Ratio 0.4).
