Si tratta della traduzione di un brevetto.
"Un serbatoio di distribuzione di un liquido per piante e vegetali comprendente, su una sua porzione principale, un foro di riempimento....".
Il mio tentativo di traduzione è:
"A tank for the distribution of a liquid for plants and vegetables comprising, on a main portion thereof, a filling hole...."
Penso di non poter tradurre vegetali con vegetables in quanto può trattarsi anche di piante non alimentari. Devo allora tradurre unicamente con "plants"? Chiedo aiuto ai madrelingua. Grazie

plants and vegetables
Vegetal: generic term used to indicate all autotrophic living organisms (which are born, grow, feed, reproduce and die).
So whether they are food or non-food plants is the same thing.

plants and vegetation
Because trees, algae etc. also come under the term "vegetali", I don't think you can just say plants.
Parliamo dei vegetali.
I vegeta i possono essere semplici, come le alghe e i batteri, e man mano più complessi, dalle erbe, agli arbusti fino agli alberi,

a fertilizer is a substance, be it synthetic or organic, which is added to the soil in order to increase the supply of essential nutrients that boost the growth of plants and vegetation in that soil

There are many different types of fertilizers on the market. However, they are not all the same. They are formulated differently for different plants and vegetation.

Humic acids were created from a deposit known as Leonardite, which comes from fossilized plants and vegetation from 300 million years ago.

Discussion
I am not a native, so please correct me if I am wrong, but If I use the word vegetables, I will only include edible plants like salad, etc. In this case, the writer means all kinds of edible and non-edible "vegetali".
Is "vegetables" the correct term in this case?
