Dr. Rouquette is employed by Texas A&M AgriLife Research and has worked at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Overton since October, 1970. He conducts basic and translational research on nutritive parameters and defoliation regimens of warm-season perennial grasses and cool-season annual grasses and legumes. Currently, his pasture research program represents the longest continuous stocking experiments with improved forages and nutrient cycling in the U. S.
