it says

2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) is marketed
in various formulations. Weedar 64 and 2,4-D
Amine are registered for use in APPLE, PEAR, and
STONE FRUIT orchards at least 1yr old. 2,4-D is a
selective herbicide that is effective on many annual
and perennial broadleaf weeds when applied as a
postemergence foliar spray. It is particularly effec-
tive in controlling dandelions on the orchard floor
when applied in late fall. These materials should not
be applied during the bloom period of fruit trees,
i.e., from the time flower buds begin to expand
until 4 wk after bloom. Combinations of 2,4-D plus
glyphosate have been effective in controlling many
difficult perennial broadleaf weeds. Do not apply
to bare ground or light, sandy soil.

And they talk about other herbicides too. Very interesting
