Biological crop protection company Bioline AgroSciences has acquired Belgian company Viridaxis, which specialises in the mass rearing of parasitoids for aphid control.

When announcing the deal, Bioline AgroSciences said that Viridaxis had developed a unique technology that will enhance its portfolio of biocontrol products. Viridaxis was founded in 2004 and uses a plant-less process to rear its aphid predators.

“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.

“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,” added Benoit Genot, Chief Marketing and Innovation Officer of Bioline AgroSciences.

Financial details were not disclosed.
