System and method to quantify spray quality

An agricultural work vehicle comprising:

• a chassis supporting a boom assembly;
• one or more nozzle assemblies positioned along the boom assembly and configured to selectively dispense an agricultural product therefrom;
• an imaging sensor operably coupled with the boom assembly and configured to capture data associated with one or more application variables;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the imaging sensor, the controller configured to receive, from the imaging sensor, the data associated with the one or more application variables and calculate a spray quality index defined between an upper integer and a lower integer based on the one or more application variables, the upper integer and the lower integer being determined based on a scaling and weighting of the one or more application variables, wherein the weighting of the one or more application variables is altered as the one or more nozzle assemblies positioned along the boom assembly selectively dispense the agricultural product therefrom.

• provide a notification when the spray quality index deviates from a predefined range.
