Wim Voogt

Wim Voogt is a Researcher at Wageningen University & Research, specializing in Rootzone Dynamics. With over 360 research outputs and 12 active or completed projects, he focuses on soilless culture systems, nutrient management, and sustainable horticulture practices in greenhouse environments.

His research interests center on soilless culture, nutrient solution management, rhizosphere dynamics, and circular agriculture approaches for greenhouse horticulture. Voogt has made significant contributions to understanding sodium accumulation in recirculating systems, phosphorus cycling, and developing decision support systems like the Virtual Lysimeter for optimizing water and nutrient supply.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on circular nutrient management, particularly phosphorus recycling in hydroponic systems. His work bridges practical horticultural applications with environmental sustainability, addressing challenges in nutrient management, water use efficiency, and crop quality across various greenhouse crops including tomatoes, sweet peppers, saffron, and ornamental plants.

Voogt leads multiple research projects including EU23014 ECONUTRI (Innovative concepts for ecological sustainable nutrient management) and TU18101 (Compliance with duty of care in soil-based cultivation). His work has practical applications in greenhouse horticulture, with several projects addressing real-world challenges in nutrient management and water use optimization.
