Abstract: 

This research was conducted during (2020-2021) in laboratories of Agriculture faculty of Tishreen University and in Ain Shiqaq area Lattakia. The study focused on the seeds germination and growth of Apricot plant (Cv Klaby) under different salt concentration in irrigation water (1, 1.5, 2, 4) Mm /cm add to control (tap water). According to completely Random Block Design (CRBD) with three replications. The results showed that seeds germination negatively affected by the different levels of salinity. The studied type showed variable ratios of germination and the control treatment germinated better than other studied levels (100%), while level 4 Mm /cm germinated less than others (46.6%). The embryos of studied tybe did not germinate in hight level of salinity 4 Mm/cm. The study showed as well the superiority of level A (1 Mm /cm) over other during the different levels of salinity. The level A (1 Mm /cm) gave better growth parameters like (Stem hight – Leaf area).

Keywords: Salinity, Apricot, CV Klaby, Germination seeds, Germination embryos, Growth of plant.
