Description
This is a plant biostimulant rooting gel containing potent growth regulators IBA and NAA. Indole-3 butyric acid (IBA) and napthaleneacetic acid (NAA) are growth-promoting phytohormones known as auxins.
Together, these compounds stimulate root formation and result in improved rooting percentage, a higher number of adventitious roots per cutting, and an increased dry weight of roots. Apply Limestone City Nutrients Rooting Gel to significantly enhance your crops roots and transplant success.

Usage Instructions
Background:
• IBA is an endogenous plant hormone that gets converted to IAA to promote the development of adventitious roots
• NAA is a synthetic auxin that leads to root formation when used at low dosages
• Both NAA and IBA are more effective when applied exogenously than IAA as they do not break down as rapidly once taken up by the plant
• To further enhance the rooting benefits of these auxins, they may be applied in conjunction with a growth retardant
Higher rooting success — the auxin in the gel stimulates root formation and raises the percentage of cuttings that take.
• Cleaner, easier application — the viscous gel clings to the stem so you use less product and get consistent coverage at the node.
• Reduced transplant shock — many gels include mild nutrients or biostimulants that support the cutting while roots develop.
• Works in water or media — the gel stays in place whether you’re rooting in plugs, soilless mix, rockwool, or water.
• Hygienic and user‑friendly — gels are less dusty than powders and simpler to apply without contaminating your workspace.
