With the objective of reinvigorating damaged corn seed, the technique of wetting and drying the seed with five types of water and 10 imbibition times. Estimating the variables emergency percentage, emergency speed, seedling length and root length, and plant height 30 days emergency. For the variable speed of emergency for imbibition time the highest vigor corresponded to 18 and 12h, and with an emergency percentage of 62% higher in 10% of the control, it was 4, 8 and 18h. In water types for emergency percentage, the highest values were observed in artesian well and Key water. In seedling length with values of 25 to 24 cm were distilled water 30h, artesian well 8h y 18h; and the control was 22 cm. In radicle length the highest values corresponded to E. Pure® 24h and key water 14h. For plant height in 8h artesian well present a value of 175 cm, and the control with a value of 165 cm.
