The present investigation was carried out to study the seasonal abundance of Serpentine leaf miner, Liriomyza trifolii on tomato during 2017-18. Leaf miner reached peak during December to January and declined thereafter. Correlation studies revealed that, no. of mines, leaf infestation and no. of larvae were negatively correlated with minimum temperature (-0.61**), evening relative humidity (-0.34*), morning vapor pressure -0.55*, evening vapor pressure -0.52*, maximum temperature-0.57*, sunshine hours -0.52* and evaporation -0.58**, temperature and evening relative humidity. Whereas, leaf infestation per cent is positively correlated with evaporation (0.71**) and influenced the leaf miner population by 51 per cent.
