Any tests show profit in biologicals?

Of the numerous companies offering biological products (fungi, bacteria, enzymes, amino acids, etc) who has done test and seen them show yield or not show yield? Let's get a big list here. I'm trying several this year for the first time, so I'll have some answers in a couple of months.

Remember that these products will not likely show a yield advantage in conditions where there are other, more basic, limiting factors such as nutrients, compaction, and water.
