Rattlebox weed and its effects on grazing and crops
A government bulletin describes Crotalaria sagittalis known as rattleweed or wild pea. It is a hairy annual with yellow pea flowers, seed pods about an inch long. It grows from Atlantic shores to Minnesota and New Mexico, poisoning horses and occasionally cattle. Burning fields prior to seed maturity reduces rattlebox in meadow hay, while severe weather preserves perennial grasses.
