I forget about the name of this traditional wrap to protect jackfruit from insect , Natural fruit drop has also been observed. Many fruit buds which are still small drop even though they are not attacked by insects or fungus. It is believed that this is due to some physiological reasons such as lack of nutrients. A few diseases caused by insects and pests such as jackfruit borer, fruit flies, civet cat and wild boar have been reported. To protect them from egg laying, fruit may be covered with this  traditional wrap and the affected parts removed and destroyed.
