Abstract
A modulating nozzle assembly for use with an agricultural sprayer includes a nozzle base having a base edge. A spray modulating element, such as a shuttle, is movably coupled with the nozzle base. The shuttle includes a shuttle edge. A spray port is between the nozzle base and the shuttle. The spray port includes a spray port profile, and the spray port profile is formed by the base edge and the shuttle edge. A modulation actuator is coupled with the shuttle, the modulation actuator is configured to move one or more of the shuttle edge or the base edge relative to the other of the base edge or the shuttle edge to control the spray port profile.
