Fusion and non-fusion contributions to the intermediate mass fragment yields in nucleus-nucleus collisions near the Fermi energy domain have been calculated in the framework of an integrated theoretical model where the dynamical evolution of the colliding system leads to the formation of either imcompletely fused composite or incomplete deep inelastic and-or quasielastic fragments, which subsequently undergo statistical binary decay to yield final fragments. Salient features of incomplete fusion and incomplete deep inelastic collision processes have been studied in detail. Predicted yields from the incomplete fusionlike and non-fusionlike processes agree well with the respective experimental data. Calculated total elemental yields of the primary fragments also compare well with the experimental data in the whole range of intermediate mass fragments emitted in the Fermi energy domain. It has been observed that the secondary deexcitation of the primary fragments does not affect the total elementary yield distribution in a significant way.
