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.
Even though a corn seedling (pre-V5) can tolerate severe above-ground. damage such as freeze and hail damage without affecting final grain yields, drought stress at this early stage of growth will disrupt initial ear formation by. decreasing the potential number of rows of kernels and kernels per row of the. ear.
