English term or phrase: young plants
Thanks for your help in advance. This text is related to greenhouse growing production of tomatoes. In Spanish I have found "plantón" for young plant. Are there any other options? Could "mata" fit in this context? Thanks again.


The young plants are exposed to high levels of solar radiation, soaring temperatures and extremely low humidity

agree  Miguel Armentia: A priori parece que en este contexto encajaría mejor plantas jóvenes, aunque plantón también define perfectamente a las plantas jóvenes.

plantones o plantas jóvenes... (depende del contexto)


Explanation:
Si son plantas pequeñas que provienen de un semillero y se van a transplantar, por ejemplo en una huerta, se habla de plantones.

El término plantas jóvenes sería adecuado en un contexto más general, no es tan específico como el término plantón.

La mata se refiere más bien al tipo de planta. Una mata de tomates no va a dejar de ser mata por mucho que crezca.


DRAE:

plantón.

(De planta).

1. m. Pimpollo o arbolito nuevo que sirve para ser trasplantado.
2. m. Estaca o rama de árbol plantada para que arraigue.
