The cross from which 'V16L410' originated was between a proprietary female parent, and an unknown male parent. From the resulting progeny, approximately 2660 seedlings were planted in a greenhouse in 2017 at the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre facilities in Vineland, Ontario. In 2016, 'V16L410' was selected for its flesh colour, skin colour, storage root shape and yield.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'V16L410' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, registration number 65008, purchased from the Community Plant Variety Office, Angers, France.
