I thought they were the same as well, everyone I know always called sickle pod, coffee weed.
Now I know that weed at the farm I can't seem to kill, it's coffee senna AKA coffee weed.

Is there anything that kills it other than python? there's nothing planted in my fields that have it right now, and I'd just like to get rid of it, and amy not worried about killing whatever is around it. I'd like something that doesn't have any lingering soil effects as plan to plant it this fall. Probably won't help your situation, but Milestone does a great job of controlling it in chufas. I don't know what you want to grow, so it may not be a herbicide that you can use. I used a bean herbicide years ago that also eradicated the sicklepod, but it damaged the chufas and I quit using it. Can't remember the name of it right now. But once you have made a crop of sicklepod in a field, there is no getting rid of it. You have got to either grow a warm season crop and use herbicides, or grow nothing but winter crops. I cleared a field in 2006 that had been in pine trees since the 50s and that first summer it grew a solid stand of sicklepod. The seed had to have lasted for decades in the ground; no other way it could have gotten there. Same field is solid sicklepod now and it will be when I'm dead and gone. Just put some on my grave and say that it won.

Use the 1.25oz/Ac rate of python. I’m telling you it’s worth doing. The field I’m having trouble with is planted in Alyceclover and Jointvetch which I spray with Butyrac and Cleth. I mowed since it was much taller but it is sprouting back from the stumps. Can I use Python as a preemergent for these 2? Or best to plow, spray gly, then plant.

I would really be shocked if Crossbow didn't kill this weed. I have seen Crossbow kill small trees.

If I can't spray it right (no sprayer), should I bushhog it? I'm likely picking up a sprayer next month or at least will be in a position to borrow one. I could at least cut it before it seeds. I think it would be a good idea to mow it and keep it from making seed, but I don't think you will get rid of the seed bank. It shouldn't be a problem in a winter crop; cold weather kills it. I have raised the bush hog and given the sicklepod a haircut before to keep it from shading out chufas. It will close the canopy over them and you won't make anything if that happens.

Dang. Learned something new on Aldeer today. I have always called sicklepod and coffee weed the same thing. BUT, I was calling Coffee Senna as crotoleria. Looks like I was wrong on that one. Thanks 257.
I have one field full of sicklepod. Never had any problem killing the current crop with glyphosphate. My problem was having a new crop regenerate after spraying the current stuff. I found out by accident (forgetting to turn off the sprayer on a wide turn around) that 2,4 D will kill sicklepod. Again, a new crop will start as soon as it gets sunlight on the ground.
I'm getting ready to sprig about 4 acres of zoysia over a bad sicklepod field. Frequent herbicides and mowing will keep the SP at bay I hope.
Don't give up, don't ever give up!

Your sicklepod battle sounds like my Johnson grass battle... If William Johnson was not already 6 feet under I would probably shoot him myself. I'll go you one better, actually worse. I've got a six acre plot that has some of the best soil in southern Alabama. It's a rich black clay loam that will grow anything, the ph is 6.7. It has sickle pod and Johnson grass. In the past, we've grown corn, soybeans, Milo, sunflowers, peas, etc. This year sprayed prowl h2o pre-emergent. The prowl didn't help much at all. We planted ic peas, sunflowers corn and Milo. All grew well along with the johnson grass, sickle pod, pigweed, morning glory, etc. Deer are using the hell out of it, wiped out sunflowers, worked over the peas but they are hanging in, even browsing the pigweed. It's getting so thick the weeds are sheltering the peas, corn is 5-6' tall. Too good dirt not to plant but we need to figure out how to deal with the johnson grass and sickle pod

You gonna have to segregate acres by crop. There are recipes for JG and SP I could give you per crop.

Were going to plant perennial clover in part of it and want to try alfalfa in some, upper part of field is 7+ ph. I've been food plotting for almost 30 years and I've never had soil like this to work with. Mixing plantings definitely causes weed control problems
