Abstract: Insect-pest regulation in agroforestry is a function of interactions among the components of the system. The interactions are more intricate in complex agroforestry systems than in simple ones. The management population also reduce pest population under agroforestry system. The present investigation was carried out at New Dusty Acre area, Department of Forestry, College of Agriculture, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (M.P.) during Kharif season of 2013-14 in well established 15 years old Dalbergia sissoo plantation. The experiment was consisted with four pruning intensity of Dalbergia sissoo P0 - Un pruned, P1 - 25% (pruned Dalbergia sissoo), P2 - 50% (pruned Dalbergia sissoo), P3 - 75% (pruned Dalbergia sissoo), Open condition- No tree (Crop only) with different date of sowing of turmeric in subtreatment. The result showed that shoot borer Conogethes punctiferalis, Leaf roller - Udaspes folus and Rhyzome fly Mimegralla coeruleifrons was found in turmeric and Shisham defoliator - Plecoptera reflexa was found in shisham tree in all the pruning intensity. Number of all insect was less in open condition as compared to turmeric growing under shisham tree.
