Castor, Ricinus communis L. is the main food plant of eri silkworm, Sarnia ricini (Donovan). The present investigation in wild castor revealed differences in phenological events like germination, vegetative growth , formation of spike and capsules, defoliation of leaves and plant death at plains and hills in northeastern region of India. Maximum castor fruits mature from May (16.1%) to July (32%) at plains and from September (24.6%) to October (12.2%) at hills. Palatability of an eri silkworm was tested on wild population and revealed effective rate of rearing (ERR) 76.43% and 79.52% in plains and hills, respectively.
