The dependence of agriculture on environmental conditions has caused the activity in this sector to face natural and unnatural risks. Due to the progress of science and the use of advanced technologies in agriculture, most of the farmers in Iran still use their knowledge based on past experiences and advanced technology. It is very important to use agricultural consulting services and new knowledge in this field to minimize the losses of gardeners caused by natural and unnatural hazards. In this study, in a quantitative framework and in the structure of econometric models, while analyzing farmers' behavior towards the willingness to accept agricultural consulting services, an effort was made to establish the necessary knowledge of factors affecting the willingness to accept agricultural consulting services by pistachio farmers of Sabzevar city. In this regard, the logit model was used to investigate the factors affecting the acceptance of agricultural consulting services in Sabzevar city. 280 pistachio gardeners in Sabzevar city were selected by random sampling and all questionnaires were completed through face-to-face interviews in 2018. The estimation results showed that the variables of the gardener's age, the gardener's residence, the amount of yield and the total number of hours of water available to the gardener in a year have a positive sign. Also, the variables of the number of employed members of the household, the horticultural experience of gardeners, the connection of the gardener's educational field with agriculture and the frequency of risk incurred by each gardener had a negative sign. According to the results, suggestions such as the necessary measures to strengthen the functions of promotion and agricultural consultations were presented considering the high risk conditions in agriculture and their high impact on the economic efficiency of farmers.
