After early work on pregnancy in ewes his main areas of research were on the phosphorus needs of dairy cows and especially on the improvement of pastures. He was the pioneer scientific advocate of the value of tagasaste (tree lucerne) as an effective and environmentally beneficial fodder for livestock in Western Australia.
