How do I save and store greater yam setts for the next planting season?

Saving your own greater yam setts cuts cost a lot. Use healthy, disease-free tubers from a good crop. You can plant whole small tubers or cut larger tubers into pieces (setts) that each have skin and enough flesh to sprout. Let cut surfaces heal and dry in shade before planting, and many farmers dip or dust cut surfaces with wood ash or a recommended treatment to reduce rot. Store the seed tubers or setts in a cool, dry, airy, shaded place, never in damp or heaped wet conditions, and check periodically, removing any that rot. Plant sprouted setts for faster, more even establishment. For any seed treatment chemical, follow the label and check the current advice with your KVK.
