The invention relates to an algal composition in the form of an aqueous suspension. More particularly the invention relates to aqueous suspension composition including one or more algae selected from green algae, red algae, golden algae, brown algae, golden-brown algae, blue algae, blue-green algae or their species in the range of 0.1%-65% by weight with one or more surfactants in the range of 0.1%-50% by weight; with one or more structuring agent in the range of 0.01%-5% by weight, where the composition has a particle size range of from 0.1 micron to 60 microns. Furthermore, the invention relates to a process of preparing the algal composition comprising at least one alga and at least one agrochemically acceptable excipient in the form of an aqueous suspension. The invention further relates to a method of treating the plants, seeds, crops, plant propagation material, locus, parts thereof or the soil with the algal composition in the form of aqueous suspension.
