Abstract
Pearl millet planted in narrow (40 × 10 cm) or wide spacing (80 × 80 cm) with 1 or 3 plants per hill did not influence the incidence of the millet stem borer, Acigona ignefusalis (Hamps.), and spike worm, Raghuva albipunctella (De Joannis). When pearl millet was intercropped with cowpea under different configurations, activity of flower thrips, Megalurothrips sjostedti (Tryb.) and Frankliniella schultze (Tryb.), in cowpea was affected. Also, stem borer population and spike worm infestation rate in pearl millet were reduced by planting 1 row of millet with either 10 or 30 cowpea rows. Head smut, Tolysporium penicillariae (Bref.), infection was favoured by higher population of millet plants in a plot
