This summer many home gardeners here in Finland have had similar growth on tomatoes. After researching it was determined to be caused by sugar beet molasses or vinasse in some organic tomato fertilizers. Clopyralid which is similar to aminopyralid is used on the sugar beet fields in Europe. People who asked more information from local agriculture administration or the fertilizer suppliers found that the fertilizers have not been tested for herbicide residue.
Have you used molasses or some organic fertilizer, which could have herbicide residue?
