How to become a plant pathologist?

A plant pathologist needs bachelor’s degree in agricultural science, biology, botany, horticulture, or a related field, though many plant pathologists have a master’s degree or a doctorate in a related field. Plant pathologists must have strong verbal and written skills to be able to present experiment designs, results, or findings in papers, at meetings, or during conferences. Working knowledge of computer systems and modeling software is also essential. Many plant pathologists work with engineers to design facilities that ensure the health and quality of plants, so experience with building and design practices, especially those related to plants, may make you a more valuable candidate in the job market.
