67岁农民轻信AI除草方案，150亩芝麻苗一夜全枯 Elderly Farmer Follows AI's Pesticide Advice, Loses All 150 Mu of Sesame
安徽67岁农户因轻信AI除草建议，用无人机喷洒大豆田专用除草剂，导致150亩芝麻苗一夜全枯，损失约15万元。 A 67-year-old farmer in Anhui trusted an AI weeding plan, sprayed a soybean-specific herbicide with a drone, killing all 150 mu of sesame seedlings overnight, with losses around 150,000 yuan.
事件概述
2026年7月10日，安徽滁州67岁农户吴大伯向AI软件询问芝麻田除草除虫方案，AI生成了一份“百亩芝麻飞防除草+除虫全套方案”，推荐了两种除草剂（高效氟吡甲禾灵、氟磺胺草醚）和两种除虫剂（噻虫嗪水分散粒剂、甲维盐）。吴大伯按方案用无人机全田喷洒，次日150亩芝麻苗全部枯萎，草和苗一同死亡，预计损失约15万元。
农技人员解读
农技人员核实后指出，AI推荐的“氟磺胺草醚”是专用于大豆田的阔叶除草剂，严禁用于芝麻田，更不能全田喷洒。该药剂只能在大豆田定向打草，芝麻田全田喷洒必然导致作物死亡。
- 高效氟吡甲禾灵：除草剂
- 氟磺胺草醚：大豆田专用阔叶除草剂，严禁用于芝麻田
- 噻虫嗪水分散粒剂：杀虫剂
- 甲维盐：杀虫剂
AI方回应
涉事AI软件客服回应称，AI软件本身没有独立知识库，答复系根据网络公开信息整合生成，将核查具体信息来源。对于吴大伯的损失，工作人员表示已登记并将反馈。
专家提醒
专家指出，随着AI普及，不少老年人习惯将AI当作“万事通”，在寻医问药、法律咨询、农业生产中轻信非专业信息。在健康、用药、农业等低容错高风险场景，AI给出的所有内容只能作为参考，最终决策必须由专业人员进行判定或严格核实。
Event Overview
On July 10, 2026, Wu, a 67-year-old farmer in Chuzhou, Anhui, asked an AI app for a weeding and pest control plan for his sesame field. The AI generated a ‘100-mu sesame aerial weeding and pest control package plan’, recommending two herbicides (haloxyfop-p-methyl, fomesafen) and two insecticides (thiamethoxam water dispersible granules, emamectin benzoate). Wu sprayed the entire field with a drone. By the next day, all 150 mu of sesame seedlings had withered, with both weeds and crop dead. Estimated loss is about 150,000 yuan.
Agricultural Expert Interpretation
Agricultural technicians confirmed that ‘fomesafen’, recommended by AI, is a broadleaf herbicide specifically for soybean fields and is strictly prohibited for sesame fields, and cannot be sprayed across the whole field. It can only be used for directed spraying in soybean fields. Full-field spraying in sesame fields will inevitably cause crop death.
- Haloxyfop-p-methyl: herbicide
- Fomesafen: soybean-specific broadleaf herbicide, forbidden for sesame
- Thiamethoxam WG: insecticide
- Emamectin benzoate: insecticide
AI Company Response
The AI software customer service responded that the AI software does not have an independent knowledge base; the reply was generated by integrating public online information, and they would verify the specific information sources. Regarding Wu’s losses, staff said they have registered the case and will provide feedback.
Expert Warning
Experts note that with AI’s prevalence, many elderly people treat AI as a ‘know-it-all’ and believe non-professional information in medical, legal, agricultural contexts. In low-fault-tolerance, high-risk scenarios such as health, medication, and agriculture, all AI-generated content should only serve as a reference, and final decisions must be made or strictly verified by professionals.
