The Taify cultivar of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is the second important economical fruit after pomegranate at high altitudes of the Taif region in Saudi Arabia. The grapevine trees are infested with different piercing-sucking insect pests especially aphids, whiteflies and thrips. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of an indigenous endophytic entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana to control the important piercing-sucking insect pests on grapevines.
