Various species of algae grow luxuriantly in Ujani reservoir. Those species found in large amount are used for experimental purpose. The effect of selected five algal species (Synechococcus aeruginosus, Spirulina plantensis, Cladophora crispata, Spirogyra jugalis and Chara fragilis) was evaluated as biofertilizer on growth and productivity of Moongbean. From the study it was observed that application of algae on Moongbean gives higher yield compared to control. Statistical analysis showed that there are significant differences in plant height,number of leaves and yield as compared to control.
