Explanation

(iii) Sowing the seeds in the soil: Hand sowing or (planting) is the process of casting handfuls of seed over prepared ground, or broadcasting (from which the technological term is derived). Usually, a drag or harrow is employed to incorporate the seed into the soil.

(iv) Cultivating the soil: Cultivating is actually a combination of two things, removing weeds from the garden and loosening the soil to improve the retention and penetration of air, water and nutrients.

(i) Harvesting the crop: Harvesting is the process of gathering a ripe crop from the fields. Reaping is the cutting of grain or pulse for harvest, typically using a scythe, sickle, or reaper. On smaller farms with minimal mechanization, harvesting is the most labor-intensive activity of the growing season.

(ii) Selling the surplus production in the market: Surplus causes a market disequilibrium in the supply and demand of a product. When producers have a surplus of supply, they must sell the product at lower prices. Consequently, more consumers will purchase the product, now that it's cheaper. This results in supply shortages if producers cannot meet consumer demand.
