Bayer Advanced Natria features products with naturally derived, non-synthetic active ingredients. They're formulated and packaged for convenient, easy-to-use application. Many Natria products feature the "For Organic Gardening" logo on the bottle.
NATRIA is an extension of the current line of leading Bayer Advanced products. Both Bayer Advanced, now in its 10th year, and Bayer Advanced Natria products are available at Lowe's stores across the United States.
"We're giving consumers more choices that fit their specific needs and way of life," said Bayer Advanced President Jacqueline Applegate. "We're proud to partner with Lowe's for the launch of the Natria line in order to reach gardening enthusiasts looking for alternative products to keep their gardens healthy and beautiful."
