Abstract: Long-term application of inorganic fertilizer could lead to environmental problems, chelate fertilizer performs well in agricultural due to their special structural specificity, it plays a positive role in promoting crop growth and quality, and has been applied to high economic growth crops. On the basis of existing researches, we reviewed the effects of chelated fertilizers on crops, including growth indexes such as appearance, chlorophyll and yield, and quality indexes such as vitamin C, carbohydrates, protein, trace element content, soluble solids, storage quality, nitrate nitrogen, etc. Finally, we analyzed the main characteristics of four chelate agents, to provide a basis for the promotion and application of high quality chelate fertilizer in agriculture.
