It is a good atempt. But This can not commercialised in India, which is the maiden country in the world that produces tasar. This experiment carry only academic vallue. But it is good.

It is possible and under process of commercialization in india.DOS, Jharkhand is taken large scale trial 7200 DFLs, PRADAN also initiated. NRDC also step forward for this product. Cost of Diet is less and production of cocoons increases 40-50% which will be helpful to tasar rearers and seed producer of DOS during first rearing crop. Thanks for comments.

Results are the very encouraging then. It will open new opportunities world over, and A. mylitta may be globalized now. If we cut the out door losses during the course of rearing, A. mylitta will get more respect from all the community world over. If you kindly mail me the full paper, I will be highly thankful to you.
