Abstract

An agricultural system includes a nozzle assembly positioned along a boom assembly that is configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product therefrom. An airflow detection system is configured to capture data indicative of one or more airflow sources. A computing system is communicatively coupled to the nozzle assembly and the airflow detection system. The computing system is configured to receive the data associated with the one or more airflow sources from the airflow detection system, generate a nozzle assembly vector for the nozzle assembly based at least in part on the data from the airflow detection system, and determine a droplet size for exhausting an agricultural product from the nozzle assembly based at least in part on the magnitude of the nozzle assembly vector relative to a defined range and the direction relative to a default axis.
