Abstract
A method of graphically mapping liquid product applied to a field by an agricultural sprayer having a plurality of spray nozzles. The method includes generating an application map on an aerial image of the field, the application map including a droplet size map displaying said droplet sizes being sprayed by each of the plurality of spray nozzles or a gang of spray nozzles as the agricultural sprayer traverses the field. The application map may also include an application rate map displaying said application rates being sprayed by each of the plurality of spray nozzles or the gang of spray nozzles as the agricultural sprayer traverses the field.
