You can safely release softwood from grass and broadleaf competition with glyphosate. However, all the over the counter/homeowner versions of glyphosate will have surfactant added to it. Most types of surfactant will damage our more tender white pine up here. A tallow amine surfactant is more gentle and is what is used up here commercially. However, I don't think that is available in most versions. It is my understanding that the southern yellow pine are more resistant but you should confirm with a local with experience.
It doesn't take much glyphosate to kill grass. maybe 1-2% solution of 40-50% active ingredient formulation. This will allow you to kill everything but your pine. If you have brush or other stuff mixed in you will have have to mix to control the toughest plant in the mix. The trick is to wait until late summer/early fall when the pine have hardened off and are not growing fast. Up here in new england that is mid august. You should confirm with a forester in your region. I am currently doing a bunch of acres of invasive control with a side benefit of softwood release.
Your pine seedlings will be most appreciative of having a radius of 16"-24" of no competition for a few years. It takes softwoods a couple years to develop a root system and then they just take off like a rocket.
good luck.
