Abstract
A boom section for an agricultural sprayer supports a plumbing pipe and a plurality of spray nozzles attached thereto. The boom section includes first and second upper beams, first and second lower beams, and gusset plates. The first and second upper beams and the first and second lower beams define an open interior between the first and second upper beams and the first and second lower beams. The gusset plates are disposed in the open interior, and are coupled to each of the first and second upper beams and first and second lower beams. The gusset plates extending from the first and second upper beams to the first and second lower beams in alternating angles in an interleaved manner. Each of the gusset plates has at least one cutout area defining a void sufficient to receive the plumbing pipe such that the spray nozzles are disposed within the open interior.
