Abstract:

To study the mosquito problem caused by mosquito breeding by different types of plant communities in residential area, the mosquito breeding status of plant planting communities and common plants in 10 residential areas in Kunming was analyzed. The typical sample plot survey method is adopted to study the directly collected mosquito quantity in the plant space of the communities from 17:00 to 20:00 after rain in the four seasons, and investigate the mosquito breeding quantity of each layer of arbors, shrubs and grasses in the artificial plant community. And SPSS was used to analyze the differences of mosquito breeding affected by plant communities and seasons. The results showed that the plant communities in the 10 residential areas were mainly arbor-shrub-grass, arbor-shrub / arbor-grass, shrub-grass and monolayer; the mosquito breeding mount of the four community types was not significantly different in winter and spring, but there was significant difference between shrub-grass and monolayer in summer and autumn. Among the four types of plant communities, the mosquito breeding amount of monolayer is the least, and that of shrub-grass is the most. Taking into consideration the current status of plants in residential areas in Kunming City, the best optional plants for landscape can be Yulania denudata, Chlorophytum comosum and Cerasus.
