Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2018 at Agriculture Research Station, Sakoli, Dist. Bhandara (MS) under Dr. Panjabrao Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola to study the seasonal incidence of major insect pests in an experimental plot of 500 m² and incidence of major insect pests were correlate with natural enemies and abiotic factors. The results revealed that, Incidence of rice stem borer was initiated from 32^nd MW and continued to 47^th MW and its peak incidence during 36^th MW (6.45% DH) and 42^nd MW (11.23% DH). Similarly 5.9 per cent white earheads was recorded before harvesting during 47^th MW. The peak population of spiders was observed at 47^th MW (0.67 nos./hill) and the correlation analysis results revealed that, minimum temperature (r= -0.501) had significant negative correlation with incidence of rice stem borer.
