Systems and methods for controlling a nozzle assembly of an agricultural applicator

An agricultural sprayer system comprising:

• a boom assembly having a frame and a boom arm operably coupled with the frame;
• a nozzle assembly supported by the boom arm;
• and
• a computing system configured to calculate an acceleration/deceleration of the boom arm and regulate the nozzle assembly at a first flow rate when the acceleration/deceleration of the boom arm is within a predefined range and a second flow rate when the acceleration/deceleration of the boom arm deviates from the predefined range, wherein the second flow rate is received from a lookup table based on the calculated acceleration/deceleration of the boom arm.

A method for operating an agricultural applicator, the agricultural applicator comprising a boom arm including at least outer and inner nozzle assemblies separated along the boom arm, the method comprising:

• controlling an operation of a product pump to supply agricultural product to the outer and inner nozzle assemblies;
• controlling an operation of a nozzle valve of the outer nozzle assembly to regulate a first flow rate of the agricultural product through the outer nozzle assembly;
• controlling an operation of a nozzle valve of the inner nozzle assembly to regulate a second flow rate of the agricultural product through the inner nozzle assembly;
• receiving, with a sensor, data indicative of a boom arm movement in a fore-aft direction from a default axis;
• and
• altering at least one of the first flow rate or the second flow rate of the agricultural product when the movement of the boom arm deviates from a predefined range.
