A compound formed when a metal ion binds to an organic molecule, typically in a ring-like structure. This bonding process makes the metal ion more stable and soluble, enhancing its availability for absorption by plants or organisms. In cannabis cultivation, chelates are often used to deliver essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and magnesium to the plants more efficiently.
