It was conducted in a survey method. Stratified random sampling was used to collect data from 250 farmers who were selected based on Cochran sampling formula. The data collection was carried out through a questionnaire، the validity of which was confirmed by a group of professionals. Also، a pilot study was conducted and Cronbach's alpha test was calculated to determine reliability of the questionnaire. Findings revealed that there were significant differences between adopters and non-adopters of insurance services in relation to their personal، social and economic factors. According to the discriminate analysis results، six independent variables could discriminate two groups of treatments; and 'experience toward agricultural insurance' was the most important discriminator in this regard. Finally، based on the study results، some recommendations were presented to enhance adoption rate of agricultural insurance.
