- Intervention effect Bean stem maggot infestation was higher in pure bean stands than intercrops.
- Association Bean stem maggot infestation declined as the maize share rose to two-thirds.
- Association Ophiomyia incidence decreased as plant population increased.
- Observation Intercrops had low larvae and pupae counts.
- Intervention effect Stem damage was higher in pure bean plots.
- Intervention effect Larvae and pupae counts were higher in pure bean plots.
- Intervention effect Intercrop combinations gave yield advantage at all populations except P3 for the one-third maize mixture.
- Intervention effect The highest yield advantage occurred at P2 with two-thirds maize and one-third beans.
- Recommendation The authors recommend BMM at P2 as a bean stem maggot management strategy.
