SIL-University for Organizations
If you are an organization looking for premium soybean training support for your team, you have come to the right place.
SIL-University for Organizations is a free project supporting private and public organizations that seek to improve their teams’ knowledge through specialized online course packages.

Brief introduction about SIL-University.
SIL-University, or SIL-U, is a completely free online training platform for Soybean Innovation Lab programs and technologies. It was founded in 2019 to provide a pool of technical knowledge focused on agronomic practices for extension agents in sub-Saharan Africa and all those interested in the soybean agronomy sector worldwide.
Today, SIL-U has expanded to cover additional soybean topics, such as Integrated Pest Management (IPM), pesticide safety, best practices when operating a Pan-African Soybean Variety Trial, reading and interpreting pesticide labels, backpack sprayer calibration, mycotoxin control, using soy-based products to enhance nutrition, creating a safe and productive environment when operating threshers and tractors, and more.
SIL-U is present in more than 120 countries and has issued thousands of certificates worldwide.
With our great success serving individuals, we decided to create a project geared specifically toward organizations. We are cooperating with organizations to standardize the training for entire teams in a practical way and without investment costs, making it possible to adopt effective practices and technologies for increased soybean productivity.

Very informative and refreshing the Soybean Rust course indeed. I encourage all stakeholders in Soybeans production to frequently visit and go through these courses.

The IPM course has really changed my life. It has made me a recognized person in my community. My former colleagues come to me for advice on integrated pest management on cashew and shea. I know this will also enhance my CV.
I am very grateful to the course instructors.

It really helped and opened my eyes especially where sprayer calibration is concerned. I also learnt about the effective way of using pesticides in the most appropriate manner and minimizing losses.
