Research Hypothesis I
The
calculated value of x2 = 19.96 > table value of 0.05 = 5.991. The
researcher therefore rejected the null hypothesis and concluded that there is
high level of pesticide activities in Obiaruku community. This result is in
line with the statement made by Meyer and Turner (2009) that societies have
profoundly altered their environment in pursuit for wealth and power has been
punished by environmental catastrophes.

Research Hypothesis II
The
calculated value of x2 = 22.14 > table value of 0.05 = 5.991. The
researcher therefore rejected the null hypothesis and concluded that there are
causes of pesticides in Obiaruku community. This is in line with Phileze (2005)
who stated that pesticid is caused by the expansion of agricultural land.

Research Hypothesis III
The
calculated value of x2 = 9.9 > table value of 0.05 = 5.991. The
researcher therefore rejected the null hypothesis and concluded that pesticides
have impact on the environment and inhabitants. This is in line with Bruinzeel (2005) who stated that erosion
of pesticides lead to water pollution thereby making surface water to be turbid
and unsafe for human consumption.

Research hypothesis IV
The
calculated value of x2 = 16.83 > table value of 0.05 = 5.991. The
researcher therefore rejected the null hypothesis and concluded that there are
ameliorating measures to the consequences of pesticides in Obiaruku community.
