Potato is one of the most important food crops in the world and it is attack by many pests, therefore, the present study was carried out to find out the population density of pests in two plantation seasons (fall and spring) in Baghdad/Iraq. Black bean aphid (Aphis fabae), Egyptian cotton leafworm (Spodoptera littoralis), Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), two-spotted mite (Tetranychus urticae), thrips (Thrips tabaci) and the natural enemy aphid lion (Chrysoperla carnea) were recorded in both season.
