Origin & Breeding History: 'Magenta Love' originated from a cross conducted between 'Vitkon-16' and 'Monalisa' in 2003 at HZPC Holland B.V., in Metslawier, Netherlands. 'Magenta Love' was selected in 2004 for its yield, internal and external quality of the tuber, and resistance to diseases and pests.

Tests & Trials: The comparative trial for 'Magenta Love' was conducted by Global Agri Services Inc. during the growing season of 2016 in Drummond, New Brunswick. The trial consisted of a single, 19.5 metre long row containing 65 plants spaced 0.3 metres apart for each variety. The distance between rows within the trial was 0.9 metres. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants, or 10 parts of plants, of each variety. Mean differences were significant at the 5% probability level based on a paired Student's t-test.
