  We calculate the contribution of the higher-twist Feynman diagrams to the
large-$p_T$ inclusive gluon production cross-section in $\pi p$ collisions in
case of the running coupling and frozen coupling approaches within perturbative
and holographic QCD. The structure of infrared renormalon singularities of the
higher-twist subprocess cross-section is obtained and the resummed higher-twist
cross- sections (Borel sum) with the ones obtained in the framework of the
frozen coupling approach and leading-twist cross-section are compared and
analyzed.
