Crop experts
The Business Unit Greenhouse Horticulture and Flower Bulbs conducts research into a wide variety of crops, ranging from fruit vegetables, leafy vegetables and tropical crops to cut flowers and potted plants.
All these crops have their own requirements for cultivation management and have different areas of attention for knowledge development. To carry out research on these diverse crops, the business unit has cultivation experts who are specialised in specific crops.
These experts are the point of contact for growers and contribute their specific cultivation knowledge to our often multidisciplinary research projects.
