System and method for dispensing agricultural fluids onto plants present within a field based on plant size

An agricultural sprayer, comprising:

• a frame;
• a tank supported on the frame, the tank configured to store an agricultural fluid including a pesticide and a carrier fluid;
• a boom assembly supported on the frame;
• a plurality of nozzles supported on the boom assembly, each nozzle configured to selectively dispense the agricultural fluid onto a plant present within the field;
• a sensor configured to capture data associated with the plant;
• and
• a computing system communicatively coupled to the sensor, the computing system configured to:
• receive an input associated with the pesticide present within the agricultural fluid;
• determine a size parameter associated with the plant based on the data captured by the sensor;
• determine a selected amount of the pesticide to be dispensed onto the plant based on determined size parameter and the received input associated with the pesticide;
• determine a selected nozzle of the plurality of nozzles to dispense the selected amount of the pesticide;
• and
• control an operation of the selected nozzle such that a volume of the agricultural fluid containing the selected amount of the pesticide is dispensed by the selected nozzle onto the plant.

A method for dispensing agricultural fluids onto plants present within a field, the method comprising:

• receiving, with a computing system, an input associated with a pesticide present within the agricultural fluid, the agricultural fluid further including a carrier fluid;
• receiving, with the computing system, sensor data associated with a plant present within the field;
• determining, with the computing system, a size parameter associated with the plant based on the received sensor data;
• determining, with the computing system, a selected amount of the pesticide to be dispensed onto the plant based on determined size parameter and the received input associated with the pesticide;
• and
• controlling, with the computing system, an operation of a nozzle such that a volume of the agricultural fluid containing the selected amount of the pesticide is dispensed onto the plant.
