Abstract: Heat and UV resistance ability of conidia with different moisture content of Beauveria bassiana varied significantly within different strains.The effects of radiation occurred more greatly at higher(RH 85%,93%)and the lowest(5%)moisture content,while 10% and 55% RH had lest effects on conidial viability.The heat tolerance ability of the conidia decreased accordingly with responce to the increase of moisture content.The conidia germinability had no markedly difference between 5% RH and untreated bathing conidia by contrast.
