The results are presented in the Table 5 Ho: The research is unbiased, the climate change related catastrophes affects tuber crops especially cassava production (null hypothesis) H1: The research is biased, the climate change related catastrophes not affects tuber crops especially cassava production (Alternative hypothesis)
