Its Glyphosate damage.
Here is the link and the picture in the link.
I would like to add to the comments above.
What the plant looks like from the said poisoning depends on how hard they are hit.
If memory serves me a good direct hit will cause yellowing and a slight hit will cause the curling of the leaves.
I had a job as a tree killer for the forest service when I was 16.
We would girdle trees with 24D and 245T mixed with diesel.
If you didn't do a good job of girdling the hickory the leaves would get huge.
I think I will tell the story elsewhere.

I would be suspicious of the cottonseed meal as cotton is a crop where they use a LOT of herbicides/pesticides. I wouldn't want to use cottonseed meal on my veggie garden.

That's good to know that there is some organic cotton meal around.

I guess you can rule that one our as a possible problem.
