In the current scenario of global warming and decreasing of plant resources,
plant pathology professionals are high in demand both nationally and internationally.
Remuneration of these professionals will be varied depending on their
educational qualification and experience. It may also be deferred according
to the position and skills. A fresh graduate from a well-recognized agricultural
university can earn an initial package of Rs. 15,000-22,000 per month.
An experienced person could be offered between 45, 000 - 60,000. Senior
pathologists having experience up to ten years in the field, earn higher
salaries. A lecturer in this filed can earn a lucrative amount plus dearness
allowances. Those who qualify Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) can perform
research work in this field and the fellowship is Rs.12,000 per month.
Pay scale of International firms are much more than that of the national
organization. The average annual salary of a professional associate in
US varies from $25,000-$45,000.
