Chinese farmer faces ₹21 lakh loss after AI-suggested pesticide ruins 25-acre crop
A 67-year-old farmer located in China's Anhui province saw his 25-acre sesame harvest destroyed after he acted on pesticide recommendations provided by an AI application. The software suggested a mixture containing fomesafen, a herbicide that is not appropriate for general application on sesame plants. The entire crop withered just one day later, resulting in a financial hit of approximately 150,000 yuan, or ₹21 lakh.
