Fertilizer efficacy is more related to formulation, timing of application, and soil type than solid vs. liquid. Some solid formulations can be made more available to the crop than their liquid counterparts. Within US commercial agriculture, the difference between solid vs. liquid (all other factors being equal) is generally considered negligible. Liquid and solid both play a valuable part.

For example, if a corn crop doesn't get enough nitrogen applied before the crop is planted, the farmer can attempt to apply a "rescue" application of liquid nitrogen to the growing crop. However, these treatments are normally much less effective for the cost per acre than if he had applied enough to begin with.

What is the difference between a liquid fertilizer and a slow-release fertilizer?

Liquids provide immediate fertilization and solid forms provide a timed release. The nutrients of liquid fertilizers are usually readily available when applied, whereas slow-release fertilizers often come in a powder or granular form. The materials are incapsulated so that the nutrients are released over time as the granules break down.
