Compensated application systems for agricultural products and methods for same

An agricultural product application system comprising:

• at least one sprayer boom extending from a boom proximal end proximate to a sprayer chassis to a boom distal end, the at least one sprayer boom configured for coupling with the sprayer chassis of an agricultural sprayer, the at least one sprayer boom includes:
• a plurality of sprayer nozzles distributed along the at least one sprayer boom;
• and
• agricultural product plumbing interconnected with each of the sprayer nozzles of the plurality of sprayer nozzles;
• a target identification sensor configured for coupling with the sprayer chassis, wherein the target identification sensor is configured to identify and index positions of one or more targets in a portion of a field aligned with the at least one sprayer boom;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• continuously determine an actual position and movement of the at least one sprayer boom;
• assign a halo profile to each of one or more sprayer nozzles of the plurality of sprayer nozzles, the halo profile based on one or more boom kinematic characteristics of the at least one sprayer boom;
• monitor the one or more targets relative to the respective halo profiles of each of the one or more sprayer nozzles, the respective halo profiles corresponding to the continuously determined actual position and movement of the at least one sprayer boom;
• and
• initiate spraying of an agricultural product from at least one sprayer nozzle of the plurality of sprayer nozzles while the one or more targets are within the respective halo profile of the at least one sprayer nozzle.

A method for applying an agricultural product, the method comprising:

• selecting a compensation value for one or more of a sprayer nozzle of a sprayer boom or a target according to one or more of boom kinematic characteristics or target characteristics;
• assigning the compensation value to one or more of the sprayer nozzle or the target;
• repeatedly monitoring an actual position and movement of one or more of the at least one sprayer boom or the sprayer nozzle;
• and
• spraying an agricultural product from the sprayer nozzle, spraying the agricultural product includes:
• monitoring a target relative to the determined, repeatedly monitored, actual position and movement of the at least one sprayer nozzle and the compensation value;
• and
• initiating spraying from the sprayer nozzle upon intersection between two or more of the sprayer nozzle, target, or compensation value.
