    <abstract language="eng">This research aims to study the virulence of five isolates of <em>Beauveria bassiana</em> to eggs and nymphs of <em>B</em><em>emisia tabaci </em>on tomato.  In the experiment eggs and second instar nymphs of <em>B. Tabaci</em> were used. Five isolates of the fungus, i.e., WS, TD312, PD114, PA221, PB211, were tested. Conidial concentration of <em>B. bassiana</em> used were 10<sup>8</sup> conidia/ml.  Experimental parameters included mortality of eggs and nymph and percentage of adult emergence.   The results showed that all <em>B. bassiana</em> isolates tested were able to kill <em>B. tabaci</em> eggs but with very low mortality (2-19%).  Mortality of second instar <em>B. tabaci</em> nymphs was dependent on the fungal isolates. Isolate WS had the highest virulence, which caused 70% mortality of 2<sup>nd</sup> instar nymphs, with a LT<sub>50</sub> of 4.87 days.  Nymphs of <em>B. tabaci</em> were highly susceptible to <em>B. bassiana</em> infection compared with eggs. <em>B</em>. <em>bassiana</em>  applicated to nymphs of <em>B. tabaci</em> can decrease the percentage of adult emergence.</abstract>
