Study on seasonal incidence on Raoiella indica Hirst and its natural enemies were carried out at Sominkoppa, Shivamogga taluk during May 2016 to April 2018. The pooled analysis revealed that, the R. indica population was highest during first fortnight of March (39.42 / cm2 of leaflet), while the lowest mites of 1.69 / cm2 of leaflet were recorded during first fortnight of November. The natural enemies population viz., Stethorous keralicus and Scolothrips spp was highest during first fortnight of march coinciding with peak density of R. indica. Whereas, the predatory mite, A. largoensis was highest in the month of January, May and November months. Correlation studies revealed a significant positive association with maximum temperature (r = 0.636**) while negative non-significant correlation with morning relative humidity (r = - 0.700**), evening relative humidity (r = - 0.468*) and Rainfall (r = -0.306).
