Syngenta acquires two bioinsecticides from UK-based Bionema

The Swiss firm Syngenta increases its bet on bio control, after announcing the purchase of two biopesticides developed by the British company Bionema. These are the NemaTrident® and UniSpore® patents and trademarks,®including the UniSpore® registration file,®giving the firm full global rights for development and commercialization. 

De esta manera, ambos productos pasarán a  la división Syngenta Crop Protection, firma que los incluirá en su portafolio Syngenta Professional Solutions.

UniSpore® is an innovation based on a natural microorganism (insect pathogenic fungus). It offers an exciting solution for vine weevil control in ornamentals, where growers across Europe have limited insecticide options. It is currently in the early registration process.

For its part, NemaTrident® is a patented insect pathogenic nematode solution. It is an important addition to Syngenta Professional Solutions’ Turf portfolio and is particularly effective against leather jackets and other pests. The three component solution is also used in horticulture and forestry to control various harmful insects.

Para Minshad Ansari, fundador y director ejecutivo de Bionema, asociado a la Universidad de Swansea, “es un orgullo haber desarrollado las soluciones innovadoras, NemaTrident y UniSpore. Dado que nuestro enfoque está en la innovación y el descubrimiento de soluciones de próxima generación, nos complace que Syngenta Crop Protection haya adquirido estas tecnologías para que puedan estar disponibles a nivel mundial para los clientes que buscan soluciones sostenibles adicionales”.

“We are delighted to acquire these technologies from Bionema and leverage our scale and reach to put these innovations into the hands of our customers,” Simon Elsworth, Head of Syngenta Professional Solutions Europe, Africa & the Middle East, said. “This acquisition underlines our commitment to build a broad range of sustainable solutions to solve complex problems and strengthens Syngenta’s position as a leader in the turf and ornamentals markets".
