To select entomopathogenic fungi controlling aphids effectively, several isolates were screened against second instars of Myzus persicae nymphs in the glasshouse using conidia suspension at 1.0×10∨5 conidia/ml. Among these isolates, SFB-205 conidia showed the highest insecticidal activity about 32.7% efficacy to M. persicae at 4 days after application in the glasshouse. The attachment of SFB-205 conidia on the surface of M. persicae nymphs, and germination and penetration were observed using scanning electron microscopy. SFB-205 was identified as Beauveria bassiana species through the comparison of 5.8 s rRNA genes. There were 24 polymorphisms between SFB-205 and the previously reported isolate, B. bassiana ATCC74040 using six kinds of primer combinations in amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. The B. bassiana SFB-205 might be used as a practical biological control agent for the green peach aphid, M. persicae in the field.
