The original post said that Mycorrhizae made no difference and I was looking for reasons why this might have been so.

One possible reason is most Arbuscular Mycorrhizae are host plant family specific. A good product will have a few strains so that the best symbiotic relationship pair can work for most crop species OR will say it is specifically for tomatoes or whatever.
Of course I also agree with the other posters here on the other possible reasons.
