Research and Academia:

Universities and Research Institutions: Work as a professor, researcher, or scientist conducting research, teaching, and guiding students.

Agricultural Research Institutes: Government and private research centers employ plant pathologists to conduct research on plant diseases and control measures.   International Agricultural Research Centers: Institutions such as the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) provide scope for research and development.   Industry:

Agrochemical Companies: You may be employed as a research scientist, formulating new pesticides and fungicides.
