You also have to factor in compaction that extends beyond the footprint of the tire. Also need to take into consideration the fact that not all plants that get run over are damaged to the same extent. Another thing is if you a a little squiggly with your rows, planting or spraying or both, the amount of damage going with the rows will increase more than the amount of damaged going across the rows. Different field shapes and fields with hills also will change the outcome. Too many variables to consider. I spray my grain with the rows and my corn on an angle. I do not have an rtk autosteer system on my sprayer and only use autosteer for the initial application. Any additional applications I just manually steer down the existing tracks. Only spray maybe 7 or 8k acres per year so I don't really worry about it. Final point wider booms = less passes = less damage.
