Modified Eicchorn-Lorenz: Berry Formation

This year, I've been trying to capture the various Eicchorn-Lorenz Stage that our vineyard is going through so I began with these blogposts:
Modified Eicchorn-Lorenz
Modified Eicchorn-Lorenz: Shoot and Inflorescence Development
Modified Eicchorn-Lorenz: Flowering
Our vineyard is now in the Eicchorn-Lorenz Berry Formation stage:

Phenological Stage Vineyard Task
Berry Formation •Greatest window of disease susceptibility is from the period beginning two weeks before bloom and extending four weeks past fruit set
•During this time, use the best products and canopy-management practices for preventing fungal diseases on the fruit and the canopy
•A fungicide with a long pre-harvest interval (PHI), such as mancozeb (with a PHI of 66 days), must be taken out of a spray program based not on calendar date, but on a phenological indicator
All of our varieties are now in bloom and all of them are at some stage of fruit set. The Chardonnay is the farthest along:
