Good afternoon, Jeff – so sorry about that. Our expert actually did provide an answer, but it was in a specific  spot called ‘ notes’ , which you couldn’t see. 
Here’s Erin Hill’s response. Let us know if you have additional questions.

’Broadleaf weeds can be controlled in switchgrass early in the season (prior to 4 leaf stage) using a synthetic auxin, such as 2,4-D. One product labeled for such use is Weedar 64. Be sure to pay attention to the label for size restrictions or injury could occur with 2,4-D.’
