  abstract = {{B}orer infestations of maize crops grown at various planting densities were studied in the {I}vory {C}oast. {T}he number of larvae per stem for both stem borers, i.e. #{B}usseola fusca$ ({F}eller) (#{L}epidoptera$, #{N}octuidae$) and #{E}ldana saccharina$ {W}alker (#{L}epidoptera$, #{P}yralidae$), was similar at different densities of planting in rainy conditions but was higher in low density crops in water stress conditions. {T}he number of larvae of the cob borer #{M}ussidia nigrivenella$ {R}agonot (#{L}epidoptera$, #{P}yralidae$) per plant did not vary with crop density. {C}rop losses caused by borers decreased when the stand density was reduced and increased when the crop was suffering from water stress. {T}he interactions between the various yield components and the compensation mechanisms that occurred, which were depending on the attack patterns, were studied.
