Summary: The tuber of 'Bonus' has very strong anthocyanin colouration of the skin in reaction to light while the tuber of 'Bintje' has weak anthocyanin. The light sprout of 'Bonus' has medium anthocyanin colouration at the base with an absent or low proportion of blue while the light sprout of 'Bintje' has very strong anthocyanin at the base with a high proportion of blue. The light sprout tip of 'Bonus' has absent or very weak anthocyanin colouration while the light sprout tip of 'Bintje' has medium anthocyanin.

Origin & Breeding History: The variety 'Bonus' originated from a cross between 3.608 001-93 and 'Panda', made in Gross Lüsewitz, Germany in 1992. 'Bonus' was selected in the field as a seedling in 1993. A phenotypic recurrent selection technique was utilized in its development. Over 40 characteristics were evaluated at up to four different locations within the breeding process. Among the characters defined were maturity, yield, processing traits, morphological traits and storage characters.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Bonus' were conducted during the summer of 2010 in Drummond, New Brunswick. Plots consisted of one row with a row length of 18.5 meters and a row spacing of 90 cm. Plants were spaced 30 cm apart within the row. There were 60 plants per variety in the trial.
