The dependency 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 results of the estimation showed that variables such as farmers' place of residence, yield level, and total water hours available to farmers in a year have a significant positive effect on the likelihood of accepting agricultural consultancy services, while variables such as the number of household members employed, cultivation diversity, and the frequency of risks borne by each farmer have a significant negative effect on the likelihood of accepting agricultural consultancy services. 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.
