Abstract

The Fruit setting of organic sapodilla product aimed to increase the production efficiency and quality of sapodilla products for value creation. It was conducted in the sapodilla. Famer’s plot in Thatong Subdistrict, Sawankaloke District Sukhothai Province. Between October 2022 to September 2024. Plan an experiment like Randomize Complete Block Design (RCBD) consisting of 6 methods 4 replication. Rate of impact on trees 200 250 300 350 400 and No effect amount control (METHOD OF COMPARISON). The results of an experiment be found out There is no statistical difference in productivity per tree, with a productivity per tree ranging from 12.7 to 21.9 kilograms per tree. The fruit setting is 250 give maximum yield weight per tree of 21.9 kilograms. The amount affects the weight of kilogram be found out There is a significant statistical difference. A fruit setting the 400 fruits rate  the number of fruits has an effect on kilogram the largest number of effects on the weight of kilogram is 13.8 fruit. Weight per effect It was found that there was a statistical difference by a margin of 250 and 300 fruit. The maximum weight per effect is 47.40 and 48.23 grams. respectively. Fruit width It was found that there was no statistical difference with an effect width between 3.83 to 4.05 centimeters.in the rate of 300 fruit. The maximum effect width is 4.05 centimeters. Effect Length It was found that there was no statistical difference with an effect length between 4.88 to 5.15 centimeters. With a rate of 300 effect on the tree the maximum effect length is 5.15 centimeters. The Sweetness percentage there was found to a statistical difference with the fruits rate of 250 have the least sweetness. 20.08 brix while the fruit rate 300 fruits has the highest value 21.28 Brix. The different rates of fruit retention resulted in larger fruit size than those without controlling the number of fruits, which will be a guideline for product quality fruit to produce fruit of the size that meets consumer demand and meets export standards and will increase income for farmers product fruit in the future. The retention of 300 and 400 fruits per tree tends to produce fewer fruits per kilogram than other rates, at 14.5 and 13.8 fruits per kilogram. The retention of 250 and 300 fruits per tree gave the highest weight of fruit at 47.4 and 48.2 grams per fruit
