[QUOTE="ga.prime, post: 1591690, member: 14046"] My dad used to have me pulling coffee weeds out of his peanut fields in the summers 40 years ago when I was still in school. They'll grow rather large and besides stealing water and nutrients from the peanuts, cause problems for the machinery used during the harvesting of the peanut crop. Like ClinchValley said, the leaves closely resemble peanut leaves. However, coffee weeds are not a legume and peanuts are a legume. The leaves would be shaded differently as a result. Dark green=peanuts, light green=coffee weeds. I was very good at picking them out even when they were no taller than the peanut plants. Some of those peanut rows were half a mile long. Me and another hand taking 4 rows at a time would walk the entire field. Amazing what you can do in your youth. The herbicide then used for coffee weeds in peanuts was toxaphene, since outlawed. It wasn't much good anyway, it only killed coffee weeds in the two leaf stage. [/QUOTE]
