Antheraea mylitta D. belonging to family saturniidae of order Lepidoptera is popular indigenous tasar silkworm usually reared on the foliages of tasar host plants in the forest areas of tropical tasar silk producing belts in India during the seed crop (July-August) and commercial crop (September-October) seasons. The rearing performances of Antheraea mylitta during the commercial crop season as compared to seed crop season have been found relatively better and significant in respect of productivity and quality of tasar cocoons evidenced by the effective rate of rearing (E.R.R.%), cocoon weight, shell weight, shell ratio and filament length. The said, variations appear to be the outcome of relative impact of different environmental factors on the larval culture of tasar worms during the two different seasons of rearing. The commercial crop season is supposed to provide relatively better conducive and desired environment than the seed crop season in course of larval rearing of Antheraea mylitta D.
