Abstract

An agricultural application system can include a nozzle assembly positioned along a boom assembly and can be configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product therefrom. One or more sensors can be operably coupled with the boom assembly and configured to capture data associated with first and second application variables. A controller can be communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors. The controller can include a processor and associated memory. The memory can store instructions that, when implemented by the processor, configure the controller to receive the data associated with the one or more application variables and calculate the spray quality index. The first application variable can have a first scaling factor and a second application variable can have a second scaling factor. The second scaling factor may differ from the first scaling factor.
