Infestation of whiteflies on the crops, medicinal plants, fruits and on weeds are serious problem of the 21st century. To control insects many pesticides were used but its hazardous effects were much more on the plants and humans then their potential to control insects. The major objective of the work was to isolate the fungal strain from the soil which can be used to control the whiteflies which was adapting every climatic condition. The fungal strain was isolated from the rhizospheric region of plant grown in Agricultural field of lovely professional university by the serial dilution method. Fungal strain also identified with the help of morphological, physiological and biochemical tests. Then fungal strain formulated in the form of 4% sodium alginate beads and transferred to the rhizosphere region of plants to check the control of flies. Significant reduction observed in the appearance of Whiteflies. Aflatoxin extracted from the formulated beads with the help of chloroform evaporation and found absence of aflatoxin in the plant A. beads.
