Abstract	A variety of Algae occurs in the water and soil of rice field ecosystems. These algae include green algae, desmids, diatoms and blue green algae with respect to their requirements like light, water, high temperature and nutrient availability. Paddy field ecosystem provides an environment favorable for the growth of BGA (Blue Green Algae). Algal flora is an idea of utilizing it as biofertilizer as an alternative or supplementary source of nitrogen, for rice is a potential biological system under low-cost rice production technology. The resulting nitrogen fertility by algal application has permitted moderate but constant productivity in fields having no application of Nitrogen fertilizer (Kannaiyan, 1993). In this respect, algal flora from rice fields from Bhor and Velhe has been documented with proper identification. During the survey, more than 20 algae were found.
