Soils previously treated with certain herbicides often exhibit an increased ability to degrade these chemicals, seemingly as a result of a proliferation of microorganisms adapted to the herbicides in question. Such soils are said to have become "enriched". The enhanced degradation of herbicides in soil as a result of repeated applications has recently been reviewed (3). ...
