Abstract

A system for spraying plants (66) is disclosed. The system comprising: a location-determining receiver (10) for estimating a position of a sprayer (61) with respect to one or more rows of plants (66); a nozzle assembly (60) of a row unit supported by or suspended from the sprayer (61), the nozzle assembly (60) comprising a first nozzle (222) with a greater height above ground than a second nozzle (224); a distance sensor (130) configured to measure a distance (116) between the nozzle assembly (60) or row unit and a plant row segment that the distance sensor (130) faces; the first nozzle (222) directed toward a first zone (432) with a first lateral spacing with respect to the plant row segment based on a spray pattern of the first nozzle (222); the second nozzle (224) directed toward a second zone (434) with a second lateral spacing with respect to the plant row segment based on a spray pattern of the second nozzle (224); and a nozzle control module (50) for selecting or activating one or more of the nozzles (222, 224) of the nozzle assembly (60) based to cover the first zone (432), the second zone (434), or both as a target zone for the plant row segment based on the measured distance (116).
