What does the phrase “grows of itself” refer to?

Lévitique 25:5 (NEG79)

5 Tu ne moissonneras point ce qui proviendra des grains tombés de ta moisson, et tu ne vendangeras point les raisins de ta vigne non taillée: ce sera une année de repos pour la terre.

This is a rare Hebrew phrase that only occurs here and in 2 Kings 19:29. It refers to what grows from seeds that have fallen to the ground from an earlier time of reaping.
