Re: How do I change the y-axis on an Excel chart from numbers towords. This will plot everything as zero values, since they are all text. You can fake it using one of these approaches: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Y_CategoryAxis.html. http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/DotPlot.html. - Jon.
First you must keep in mind that all ears of corn have an even number of rows, never an odd number. All average ears have between 12 and 20 rows. Still, it's difficult to tell at a glance whether an ear has 14, 16, 18, or 20 rows.
Common ear rots and kernel molds. Aspergillus ear rot. Typically a problem during hot, dry years. Can produce a potentially carcinogenic aflatoxin. Use caution when handling. Gray-green or olive colored powdery fungal growth starting at the ear tip. Fusarium ear rot. Most common fungal disease on corn ears, present most years. Disease enters mainly through ear damage. Infections typically start at ear tip and can infect individual kernels. Infected kernels display white streaking on the pericarp, usually in a starburst pattern.
