S4 is a georeferenced software that integrates data from combines, satellite images, and other sources to allow farmers to plan, operate, analyze, and audit agricultural production from individual, organizational, and benchmarking perspectives. It facilitates efficiency gains, certification compliance, traceability, and investment auditing for farmers and third parties. S4 is accessible via web and currently has projects in Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia, Ghana, Ukraine, Chile, Paraguay, and Bolivia, covering crops like soybean, corn, sunflower, and wheat.

1. S4 is a georeferenced multichannel software for the productive agricultural process which integrates the input and output information
from combines and satellite images that allows to plan, operate, analyze and audit the results of a crop from the individual, organizational
and benchmarking perspective. S4 is accesible via web.

THE PROJECT
General Information
PLACE > Henderson, Daireaux, Buenos Aires.
Pampa Argentina
In the process of site specific crop management strategy we
delimited environments with low, middle an high potential
production averages and GSS were placed on those areas.
AVERAGE RAINFALL > 800/900 mm annual precipitation
AVERAGE TEMPERATURE > Summer 20/25º; Winter 5º/10º
TYPE OF PROJECT > Green Project / SOM (2) evolution and
assimilable phosphorous environment relationships. Method:
Followed by GSS (1)
CROP ROTATION > Wheat, Corn & Soybean
SOWING STRATEGY > Direct Seeding(3)

(3) Direct Seeding = Direct seeding is a cropping system which aims to
improve soil and soil moisture conservation. Soil is not tilled before
plating.
GSS: Georeferenced Sample Stations .It is a sample
point which represents an specific area. GSS logic: We
choose a point in the lot. This point should define the
productive capabilities of the agroecological area.. Once
we choose that point, an automate area of 1 hectare
around will be defined on the platform. In this areas is
where we are going to take soil samples.

Thanks to this method we found a spatial pattern in the
amount of available. Phosporous on the soil and we also
found specific indicators for monitoring the over time.
GSS In Wheat and Corn were distributed every 60 has in environments that are characterized by images satellite. Each
GSS took about 15 subsamples. Soy diagnosing Phosphorus
fertilization was based on the historical information of the
environment.
