Abstract
The invention relates to an agricultural sprayer arm to attach a conduit spreading a good, with multiple foldable segments articulately attached to each other, the shape of at least one segment of which is determined by longitudinal beams mainly loaded by traction and diagonal braces connected thereto and mainly loaded by pressure and/or torsion, wherein the longitudinal beams are made of fiber reinforced material and the diagonal braces are made of a light alloy. The invention also relates to an agricultural sprayer comprising one such agricultural sprayer arm or two such agricultural sprayer arms.
