Plant breeding for sure because the scale of production can outpace the number of plants that die from disease which equates to more cash flow in that industry.
Plant Pathology has more job opportunities. Plant Pathologist involved in chemical and biological means of plant disease management in the concern industries. In varietal development, screening of germplasm against pathogens or identification of disease resistant genes, Pathologist role is important.
Both subjects have almost equal opportunities. Multinational and National Seed Companies seek skilled Plant Breeder. Both Multinational and National Pesticide companies require Plant Pathologists in R & D Sector as well as in Marketing Sector.
Plant breeding has better advantages than pathology. Again it depends on the research problem.
Hi, my advantages are plant breeding and plant tissue culture.
Both plant breeding and plant pathology offer significant job opportunities in the field of agriculture. However, plant breeding may have slightly more job prospects due to the increasing demand for improved crop varieties and genetic advancements. Plant breeders play a crucial role in developing new plant varieties with desirable traits, which are essential for sustainable agriculture and food security. On the other hand, plant pathology also offers numerous job opportunities as professionals in this field study diseases that affect plants, develop disease management strategies, and work towards preventing crop losses caused
Plant breeding have more opportunities as compared to plant pathology because plant breeding have wider scopes such as tissue culture,micropropagation and also studies the genetic variability of different plants which connects various fields of botany
Both fields have adequate job opportunities. Plant Breeders will be required for all the different crops and even for different segments within the same crop. Plant Pathologists are required to diagnose and recommend treatments of various plant diseases. They also recommend prevention methods. Seed Companies, Agriculture Research Institutions, Pesticide Companies will hire these professionals.
