        abstract = {Soil algae are important group of alga which are found in rhizosphere as well as non-rhizosphere soil. Algae play a vital role in maintaining soil health and supporting plant growth. Present work deals with study of soil algae found in Sugarcane crop fields of Indapur tehsil area located in Pune district of Maharashtra. To study algal flora of sugarcane crop field, algal samples from moist places of field were collected at regular intervals from July to November 2024. Bold’s Basal medium was also used to culture algae from sugarcane field. Collected microalgae and cultured algal samples were observed with the help of standard literature on algae. Several members of Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae and Cyanophyceae were found. Cynophycean algae are dominant in sugarcane field. A total of 35 species of 21 genera were found from soil. Physicochemical analysis of soil was done from sugarcane crop fields by selecting certain physicochemical parameters such as pH, electrical Conductivity, organic carbon, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium to understand fertility status of soil. The soil of Sugarcane field is moderate alkaline with moderate electrical conductivity. Nitrogen and phosphorus is found in low amount whereas carbon is moderate and potassium is high.},
