Abstract: The purpose of the germination test is to determine the viability of a batch of seeds, which is determined through the percentage of seeds that have the capacity to generate normal seedlings under optimal conditions of light, water, air and temperature, which establishes the germination capacity.It should be noted that physiological quality refers to intrinsic mechanisms of the seed that determine its germination capacity, the emergence and development of those structures essential to produce a normal seedling under favorable conditions.The work consisted in making a comparison on germination quality between creole corn from the states of Guanajuato and Michoacan, in the Chemistry laboratory of the Agronomist Engineer Degree in Production at the University Center UAEM Zumpango, it is concluded that they had a germination behavior between 93 to 99% both, so it can be said that it is a seed that meets the physiological quality and ensures a good population in the production unit.
