The effect of intercropping on parasitization of eggs of C. gibbosa was studied in a pigeon pea/cotton intercrop during 1994 in Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India. Pigeon pea cv. ICPL 87119 was either intercropped with 2 cotton cvs. (NHH 44 and PA 32) or was grown alone. A significantly greater percentage of eggs of C. gibbosa was parasitized in the sole pigeon pea crop than in either cotton intercrop.
