Whitefly is a serious threat to the cotton production. To find out the most suitable control measure a field experiment was conducted at District Layyah, to compare the efficacy of different pre-tank mix insecticides., viz. Legand (spiromesifen + abamectin), Actify (Isoprocarb + etiprole), Bila (Pyriproxyfen + acetamaprid), Best Guard (buprofezin + nitenpyram), Jeera (Pyriproxyfen + acetamaprid), Rugra (nitenpyram + chlorfenapyr), Editor (acetamaprid + ibiocydam), and Concept Plus (acephate + phenoxaprop) on BT-886 and Non-BT (Shahkar) cotton varieties. Maximum population reduction of adult whitefly after first application of insecticides was found in Legand on BT and Non-BT cotton crop exhibited, 24.37 and 37.66 after 2 days, 53.08 and 55.31 after 4 days and 73.29 and 68.17 after 6 days respectively. Maximum population reduction of nymph whitefly was found in Legand on BT and Non-BT cotton crop exhibited 33.85 and 34.07 after 2 days, 55.10 and 54.49 after 4 days and 74.66 and 75.28 after 6 days respectively. Maximum population reduction of adult whitefly after second application of insecticides was found in Legand on BT and Non-BT cotton crop exhibited, 24.56 and 39.57 after 2 days, 30.29 and 55.97 after 4 days and 71.34 and 69.62 4after 6 days respectively. Maximum population reduction of nymph whitefly was found in Legand on BT and Non-BT cotton crop exhibited 34.07 and 40.52 after 2 days, 54.49, after 4 days and 75.28 and 74.92 after 6 days respectively.

Trabajo de investigación

Le principal but de cette thèse a été d'analyser les représentations de genre et d’enseignant introduites par les dessins animés “Billy et Mandy, Aventuriers de L'audelà" (The Grym Adventures of Billy & Mandy) et "Les Razmoket" (Rugrats), en mettant accent particulièrment sur leur rapport avec l’humour. La perspective adoptée est celle des Études Culturelles post-structuralistes avec des contributions venant d'autres domaines d'études telles que la Communication et la Psychanalyse Lacanienne. Pour y arriver, on a sélectionné, transcrit et analysé des épisodes de ces dessins animés exhibés entre 1991 et 2010 par les chaînes de télévision CartooNetwork et Nickelodeon. Les réflexions développées cherchent à observer dans le récit des dessins animés les représentations du/des personnages, en particulier celles des enfants, en les reliant aux concepts de genre, pouvoir, transgression, école et d'autres. En abordant ces questions, on a vérifié que l'utilisation de l'humour est un recours textuel puissant, un artifice employé par les dessins animés dans la fabrication de stéréotypes qui produisent le sujet-enfant. En ce qui concerne les questions de genre, le mouvement fondamental de ce travail a été de donner de la visibilité aux relations de pouvoir qui s’y forment, certains par le biais de la transgression, d'autres par la voie de l'affaiblissement. En ce qui concerne les représentations de l'école et des enseignants, il a été possible de vérifier certaines ruptures avec la figure “sacré” de l’enseignant (affectueuse, dévouée et maternelle). Cependant, les représentations d'école et d'éducation ne diffèrent pas du modèle traditionnel de l'école moderne, qui englobe le classement, l'organisation du temps et des espaces, en établissant des contenus et des évaluations fondées sur des concepts. Dans d'autres espaces éducatifs analysés dans les épisodes en question, il existe clairement des relations de pouvoir, de gouvernance et de contrôle. En résumé, on a avons observé que dans les discours des dessins étudiés destinés aux enfants, on peut observer les stéréotypes qui agissent dans la production de subjectivités féminines et masculines en tant que des pédagogies culturelles.
Esta tese tem como principal objetivo analisar as representações de gênero e de professor/a trazidas pelos desenhos animados ”As Terríveis Aventuras de Billy & Mandy” (The Grym Adventures of Billy & Mandy) e “Os Anjinhos” (Rugrats), considerando, em especial, a sua conexão com o humor. A perspectiva adotada foi a dos Estudos Culturais pós–estruturalistas, contando com aportes de outros campos de estudo como o da comunicação e psicanálise lacaniana. Para a consecução do objetivo, foram selecionados, transcritos e analisados episódios dos referidos DAs exibidos entre 1991 e 2010 pelos canais por assinatura CartooNetwork e Nickelodeon. As reflexões desenvolvidas buscaram olhar, na narrativa dos desenhos animados, as representações dos/as personagens, especialmente as/os infantis, articulando-as aos conceitos de gênero, poder, transgressão, escola, entre outros. Na abordagem dessas questões, foi enfatizado o uso do humor como recurso textual potente, artifício do qual se valem os desenhos animados na fabricação de estereótipos que produzem o sujeito infantil. Em relação a questões de gênero, o movimento fundamental desse trabalho foi dar visibilidade às relações de poder que ali estão sendo constituídas, algumas, pela via da transgressão, outras pela via da fragilização. Em relação às representações de escola e docência foi possível verificar algumas rupturas com a figura “consagrada” de professora (afetiva, dedicada e maternal). Entretanto, as representações de escola e de ensino não diferem do modelo tradicional da escola moderna, englobando seriação, organização de tempos e espaços, priorizando conteúdos e avaliações por conceitos. Nos outros espaços educativos analisados nos episódios recortados, há claras relações de poder, governamento e controle. Em síntese, observou-se que, nos discursos dos referidos desenhos, direcionados para o público infantil, é possível visualizar estereótipos que agem na produção de subjetividades femininas e masculinas, as quais atuam enquanto pedagogias culturais.
This thesis aims at analysing gender and male and female teacher representations by animated television series “The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy” and “Rugrats”, especially considering their association with humour. We have used the poststructuralist Cultural Studies perspective with the help from other study fields such as communication and Lacanian psychoanalysis. For this objective we have selected, transcribed and analysed episodes of the films presented between 1991 and 2010 in channels CartooNetwork and Nickelodeon. Reflections have sought to examine representations of characters, especially children’s, linking them to concepts of gender, power, transgression, school, and others linked to them. When treating these questions, we have stressed on the use of humour as a potential textual tool, a device animated television series use to create stereotypes producing the infant-subject. Concerning gender, the key movement of this work was towards visibility for power relations shaped there, some by transgression, some by frailty. Concerning school and teacher representations, we have found some ruptures with the ‘established’ female teacher figure (affectionate, devoted and motherly). However, school and education representations are not different from the traditional model of the modern school, including serialisation, time and space organisation, stressing on content and grade evaluation. In other educational spaces we have analysed in particular episodes, there are clear relations of power, government and control. In sum, we have observed that, in discourses in the particular child-directed animated series, it is possible to view stereotypes producing male and female subjectivities, which act as cultural pedagogies.
