First off that's called banding and that is just a starter fertilizer. And it's a dry fertilizer and as such takes time to release all of the nutrients. After about 2-3 weeks of growth we come back and incorporate Anhydrous Ammonium into the soil at depth. This in turn turns into nitrites then to nitrates by biological processes in the soil. This process does not happen instantaneously it takes time for the biological processes to convert the ammonium to a usable form for the plants.
So it's really not the same comparison unless you're using a dry fertilizer to grow with, as with liquid nutrients when mixed they are available immediately.
