N2  - This study was undertaken to investigate possibility of using B.bassiana as a biological control agent against Aphis craccivora.Present test reported successful infection by Beauveria bassiana against the aphid, Aphis craccivora. The fungal pathogenicity to the nymphs, as well as the effect on some changes in certain biochemical components were investigated. Results showed that LC50 and LC90 0f nymphs were 1.69 x 103 and 8.2 x 103 spores/ml.,respectively. The tests proved a reduction in total protein, fat and - amylase enzyme
