The size of the microbial populations able to rapidly degrade carbofuran in soils enhanced for its degradation were enumerated by means of substrate addition and fumigation. Use of these techniques followed unsuccessful attempts to enumerate the population using plate or direct counts in the enhanced soils. Overall biomass size declined following application of carbofuran. No biomass suppression was observed in the non-enhanced soils and implies this suppression may be related to the formation of metabolites such as carbofuran-phenol or methylamine. In the enhanced soils, 6% of applied pesticide was i n i t i a l l y incorporated into biomass carbon. This contrasts with 0.87% incorporation in the non-enhanced soils. After 15 days there was complete loss of the pesticide; at this time the biomass contained 2% of the applied material.
