After harvesting the tomato crops, the GF fertilizer was found to result in a higher yield than the NPK conventional fertilizer: 59980 kg and 74 360 kg for NKP and GF, respectively. The general characteristics of the harvested tomato fruits and leaves were similar in the two cases and the differences fell within statistical error. No differences in any of the soil characteristics were detected as a result of the use of GF. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
