Soil salinity is one of the main factors which reduce crop production in both arid and semiarid areas all around the world, the experiment was carried out to study the effect of NaCl stress on growth characteristics of almond cultivars. This study was designed as completely randomized in a factorial design. The treatments consisted of 9 cultivars (Tuono, Sahand, 1-25, 13-40, mamaee, Shekufeh, 1-16, A200, Supernova and Francis) and 3 salinity levels (0 (control), 40, and 80 mm L) with three replications. At the end of experiment, some traits were studied such as shoot diameter, shoot branches, number of leafs, height and Collar diameter. The analysis of variance showed that the difference between the cultivars is statistically significant at 5 or 1%. According to the results, it was found that stress was reduced all traits. The cultivars showed different responses to stress treatments. Among cultivars Sahand, A200 and sh12 had higher resistance than other varieties.
