3.84±0.68, 3.51±0.73 and 3.58±0.87, respectively. In regard to ’image of environment- friendly agricultural
products’, the scores were significantly affected by gender (p<0.05), self-recognition of health status (p<0.05)
and self-knowledge about environment-friendly agricultural products (p<0.001). In regard to ’attitude towards
environment’, the scores were significantly affected by self-recognition of health status (p<0.05), self-knowledge
about environment-friendly agricultural products (p<0.001), and information about environment friendly
agricultural products certificate authority (p<0.01). In regard to ’attitude towards agrichemical’, the scores
were significantly affected by gender (p<0.001), self-recognition of health status (p<0.05), supplements for
