Bioline AgroSciences acquires Viridaxis to strengthen leadership in aphids biocontrol

United Kingdom-based biocontrol company Bioline AgroSciences has acquired Viridaxis, a Belgian company with more than 20 years of experience that develops and produces parasitoids for aphid control.

Aphids are among the most destructive agricultural pests, affecting a wide range of crops including vegetables, fruit trees, ornamentals, berries and other major specialty crops.

"We are delighted to welcome Viridaxis employees to the Bioline AgroSciences group. Their unique skills and dedication have been at the heart of the success of the company and will be a very positive addition to the Bioline AgroSciences team,” said Ludwik Pokorny, CEO of Bioline AgroSciences.

The acquisition enhances Bioline AgroSciences’ portfolio of biocontrol products. 

"We are thrilled to realize our first acquisition since Bioline AgroSciences joined Eurazeo Planetary Boundaries and their partner Aurae in February 2025. It’s a natural step forward in our mission to accelerate the transition to sustainable agriculture — aligning perfectly with our strategic ambitions," said Benoit Genot, chief marketing and innovation officer.
