as a spin-off


Explanation:
A "spin-off" is a fortunate, but initially unintended, consequence.

"In conclusion, the incorporation of the cotton ginning by-product into compost resulted in better growth of lettuce, spinach and radish, suggesting that the use of this material may be of economical value as a spin-off product for the cotton ginning plant and also as a means of reducing present pollution of the environment due to the accumulation of waste material."

neutral  Francis Marche: The reference is about the use of by-product in a process (composting), not the residual effect of a fertilizer on a second crop. My objection is the term you use is not the right one. It's just an educated guess that may apply to other industries,

  -> It is still a benefit that was not part of the original plan. I don't understand your objection.

agree  Schoonbeek: that's what I thought

neutral  Jane Proctor (X): For me, carryover and residual effect mean the same thing, so the asker can take her pick! Comment below baffles me. I am saying they are both valid specific terms. I prefer carryover. You prefer another term. Why the sarcasm?

  -> Yes Jane. The asker can take her pick between the "same thing" and the specific term. A valuable comment indeed...
