- Observation Busseola fusca predominated in western Amhara.
- Observation Chilo partellus predominated in eastern Amhara.
- Intervention effect Mustard and potato intercrops significantly reduced maize borer numbers and tunnelling at vegetative stage.
- Intervention effect Cropping system did not significantly affect pest densities in eastern Amhara.
- Intervention effect Cereal damage tended to be greatest with sweet potato intercrops.
- Association Cotesia flavipes parasitism of C. partellus was greater on maize than sorghum.
- Intervention effect On maize, Cotesia flavipes parasitism was greater with sweet potatoes than other intercrops or sole maize.
- Intervention effect Cocoon mass number per plant did not differ significantly between treatments.
- Intervention effect Maize yields were significantly different among treatments and lowest with a tuber intercrop.
- Recommendation The selected simultaneous intercrops offered little advantage over monocropped maize.
