Researchers
Research that matters and translates knowledge into concrete improvements.
At pcfruit, we combine science and practice to make research truly relevant to the fruit sector. Researchers have access to well-managed trial fields, up-to-date cultivation data and direct collaboration with experienced cultivation advisers. This allows new insights and innovations to be tested quickly and translated into practical applications for fruit growers.
Whether it concerns crop research, variety trials, soil and leaf analyses or new cultivation techniques, we support researchers with the infrastructure, expertise and contacts needed to achieve results efficiently and reliably. In this way, we contribute together to innovative, sustainable and profitable fruit growing.
Every three years, the Professor Albert Soenen Foundation awards a prize for a doctoral thesis in agricultural and applied biological sciences that contributes to fruit growing.
