Aiming to develop alternative technologies in controlling aphids (Macrosiphum euporviae), the biocontrol ability of entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria brongniartii and Metarhizium anisopliae evaluated. Par study native fungi of 3 parts of the central highlands (Achacachi , Viacha and Patacamaya) , which is isolated from the mummified insects and purified in the laboratory, the isolates were as fungi of the genus Beauveria result and Metarhizium were collected. Of these isolates its initial concentration was removed and all were adjusted to the minimum concentration lodged in one of the isolates was 9.5 x 10⁴conidia/mL at these concentrations the virulence test was performed for 144 hours , where isolated 2BbVch , 1BbAch , 3BbPtm 1MtAch and produced more than 50 % mortality , indicating that the genus Beauveria isolates proved to be better . With isolates that demonstrated improved mortality were subjected to a second test determining the lethal time 50 and 80 ( LT50 ) ( TL80 ) where 2BbVch isolated showed a lower time control 50 and 80% with 78 aphids 1 and 123.8 hours respectively . 50 and the lethal concentration 80 ( IC50 ) was determined, ( IC80 ), where it was observed that the isolated 1BbAch 2BbVch and require minimal concentrations of  2.5 × 10⁴ and 5.1 x 10⁴ conidia/mL, to control 50% of aphids as a concentration of 1.3 x 10⁵ to 1.8 x10⁵ conidia/mL for 80 % control of aphids.
