1. A computer-implemented method for depicting agricultural spray behavior as a spray distribution, the method comprising:

  • using a computer processor configured to;

    receive a selection of an agricultural spray;

    receive a selection of a spray parameter at which the agricultural spray is to be sprayed;

    retrieve analyzed spray particulate data using the received selections, the retrieved data comprising a distribution of relative amounts of agricultural spray droplets within droplet size classes where each class corresponds to a range of droplet sizes; and

    transmitting for graphical display the distribution of the relative amounts of the spray droplets in the droplet size classes,wherein the spray droplets are displayed as a series of representative droplets superimposed over an image of an agricultural spray target, each representative droplet associated with one of the droplet size classes, andwherein the representative droplets within a droplet size class are displayed with droplet size information comprising one or more of the range of droplet sizes represented, drift potential, leaf runoff potential or leaf coverage.
