English. In order to determine the potential use of the infrared thermometers to estimate the crop water stress index (CWSI) instead of another techniques which are more time and labor consuming, two models of CWSI were evaluated in six lines of corn (Zea mays L.). The two models gave a good agreement between the value of the index and the magnitude of the crop water stress (R sup2 varied from 0.79 to 0.86), so it is possible to estimate the soil moisture availability by measuring the difference between the canopy and the air temperature. An inverse relation between crop yield and the value of the CWSI for each line was also found (average R sup2 =0.60)

Con objeto de determinar la utilidad potencial de la termometria infrarroja para estimar el indice de tension de agua del cultivo (Crop Water Stress Index, CWSI) en sustitucion de tecnicas mas laboriosas y tardadas, se evaluaron dos modelos del CWSI en seis lineas de maiz (Zea mays L.). Los dos modelos presentaron aceptable relacion con el grado de deficit de agua del cultivo (R sup2 entre 0.79 y 0.86) lo que permite estimar el estado actual de la humedad disponible en el suelo mediante observaciones de la diferencia de temperaturas entre el follaje del cultivo y el aire. Ademas, el rendimiento de grano y el CSWI mostraron una relacion inversamente proporcional en las seis lineas (R sup2 promedio= 0.60)
