Paul Struik

Paul C. Struik is Professor of Crop Physiology, Wageningen University. He obtained his PhD with distinction in 1983 from Wageningen University with a thesis on the physiology of forage maize in relation to its productivity and quality. Since 1986 he has been full-time professor responsible for teaching and research in crop and grassland science.
He has carried out research on forage crops, potato physiology, seed production technology, crop ecology and research on non-food crops. He is currently involved in research projects on social and agronomic aspects of biodiversity in Africa, QTL-based modelling of crop growth and quality, micronutrient husbandry, modelling electron transport in photosystems of C3 and C4 plants under stress, 3D modelling, biomass crops (including hemp) and chain management of agricultural produce in Africa.
