Mullatestid tehakse tavaliselt taimedele kättesaadavate toitainete sisalduse hindamiseks, et anda põllumajanduses soovitusi väetamiseks. Geotehnikas kasutatakse mullateste pinnase hetkelise füüsikalise seisundi, filtratsiooni, nihketugevuse ja deformatsiooni mõõtmiseks.
Soil tests are typically conducted to assess the content of plant-available nutrients, in order to provide recommendations for fertilization in agriculture. In geotechnical engineering, soil tests are used to measure the current physical state of the soil, as well as its filtration properties, shear strength, and deformation characteristics.
