Feng made a thorough investigation on the morphology,classification and inheritance of Asiatic cotton as well as genetic and cytological study of inter species hybrids of Asiatic and American cottons. In the 1930s and 1940s, he directed the national cotton variety regional test and the investigation on perennial Egyptian cotton in Yunnan Province. Based on experimental results, he proposed the propagtion and extension of good varieties “Stoneville 4”and“Delfos 531” in the Yellow River valley and Yangtze River valley cotton producing regions, respectively, which played a conspicuous role in the improvement of cotton yield and ifber quality. He initiated systematic studies on cotton producing regions and the distribution of textile mills and suggested the division and distribution of 5 cotton producing regions in China, which is still used today by scientists and technologists in China.
