We then cut the plant up and sprayed again. Next we bagged up and sealed the bags. Lastly we removed the corm and any roots. We sprayed the ground again. The bags were put into a dumpster. The variety was Huamoa.
You did a great thing. I think the protocol includes poisoning the plant with round up, so the plant dies, and can't spread the disease at the dump.
