Abstract
Study has been performed on the vegetative parts of the local Horsetail Equisetum arvense L., which grow naturally in Haj Umran north of Iraq, to assess some nutritional minerals and toxic heavy metals. and investigate the inhibitory effects of crude extracts upon some fungi. The results revealed that the plant was rich in calcium, potassium and other important nutritional minerals with trace percentage of toxic heavy metals. The crude extracts had no inhibitory effect on fungi and yeast, with exception of Penicilium digitatum that had been inhibited by using (100)mg/ml ethanolic extract (by direct drops method).
