Carbofuran a type of organophosphorous pesticide widely used in agriculture field and found in soil, water samples. A sensitive spectroscopic method was developed using 4-methyl aniline and sodium nitrate in concentrated HCl. Carbofuran in alkaline medium allow to react with 4-methyl aniline and sodium nitrate mixture and form diazonium salt which was measured at 470 nm spectrophotometrically. Amount of carbofuran measured from carbofuran degrading mixture was maximum up to 93% by Enterobacter clocae after 72 hours.

Carbofuran, 4-methyl aniline, diazotization.
