Invented Resistance Porometer and Diffusion Porometer. Has shown the unexpected potassium-respiration effect in plants and has developed our knowledge of mineral nutrition. Has initiated field studies in cotton showing striking interrelationship of factors, and (with Horne) has developed the 'radial advance' method for estimating fungal pathogenicity.
