Why is fertiliser dissolved in water?

some fertilisers are dissolved in water as it hastens the uptake of the elements into the plant when applied in solution. some fertilisers are dissolved in water and applied as "foliar feeds", this is sprayed over the leaves of the plants and is absorbed through the stomata and directly into the plant tissue. not all fertilisers are applied in solution, some chemicals are dry applications which rely on the subsequent watering of the plant to dissolve the fertiliser pellet and deliver nutrients to the plant.
