1. A method for performing spraying operations, the method comprising:
monitoring, with a computing device, a field condition of a first swath within a field based at least in part on data received from a sensor as an agricultural sprayer makes a first pass across the field, the agricultural sprayer including a first boom section assembly and a second boom section assembly extending therefrom, the first boom section assembly extending above at least a portion of the first swath during the first pass, the sensor being provided in association with the first boom section assembly;
controlling, with the computing device, one or more nozzle assemblies of the agricultural sprayer as the agricultural sprayer makes a second pass across the field to perform a spraying operation along the first swath based at least in part on the monitored field condition of the first swath, the one or more nozzle assemblies being provided in association with the second boom section assembly;
monitoring, with the computing device, a field condition of a second swath within the field based on data received from the sensor as the agricultural sprayer makes the second pass across the field, the first boom section assembly extending above at least a portion of the second swath during the second pass.
