     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to a triazole compound having the formula (I), and an insecticide composition containing this compound as the active ingredient. 
     In the formula (I), R 1  and R 2  represent a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a dialkylcarbamoyl group having C 1  -C6 alkyl group, or R 1  and R 2  may be bonded to form a C 3  -C 6  aIkylene group, an oxyalkylene group having a C 3  -C 6  alkylene group or a thiozlkylene group having C 3  -C 6  alkylene group which may be substituted with a C 1  -C 3  alkyl group, R 3  represents a hydrogen atom or CONRR&#39;, where R and R&#39; represent a C 1  -C6 alkyl group, a C 3  -C 6  alkenyl group, a C 3  -C 6  alkynyl group, a cyanoalkyl group having a C 1  -C 6  alkyl group or a phenyl group or benzyl group which may be substituted, or R and R&#39; may be bonded to form a C 3  -C 6  alkylene group, an oxyalkylene group having a C 3  -C.sub. 6 alkylene group or a thioalkylene group, a C 3  -C 6  alkylene which may be substituted with a C 1  -C 3  alkyl group; R 4  represents ##STR3## where R 5  represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a phenyl group, and R 6  represents a lower alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or R 5  and R 6  may be bonded to form a C 2  -C 7  alkylene group, but R 1  and R 2  cannot be dialkylcarbamoyl groups at the same time. ##STR4## 
     More specifically, the present invention relates to a triazole compound represented by the above formula (I), (hereinafter called the present compound) and an insecticidal composition for agriculture and horticulture or for a prevention of epidemics and having a high insecticidal activity against harmful insects of the Hemiptera, Diptera, Tylenchoida, and Aphelenchoida, families. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     The 3-t-butyl-1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-1,2,4-triazole type compounds exhibiting insecticidal activities are known, as disclosed, for example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications (Kokai) Nos. 52-122624, 52-122625, 55-38387, and 62-70365. 
     These compounds, however, do not have a satisfactory insecticidal spectrum and insecticidal performance. Particularly, it should be noted that the effect is not practically sufficient, or when the efficacy is high, a practical application has not been made for reasons such as damage due to chemicals. Further, the 5-position substituents of the triazoles are alkylthio, alkylthio-alkylthio, and alkoxycarbonylalkylthio groups, which are entirely different from the OR 3  wherein R 3  is as defined above, which is the 5-position substituent of the present compound. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Accordingly, the objects of the present invention are to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a novel compound among 3-t-butyl-1-(N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl)-1,2,4-triazole compounds having a superior insecticidal spectrum and insecticidal performance. 
     Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel insecticide which has extremely high insecticidal activities against Hemiptera, Diptera, Tylenchoida, and Aphelenchoida, and has no adverse affects on crops. 
     Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description. 
     In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a compound having the above-mentioned formula (I). 
     In accordance with the present invention, there is also provided an insecticide composition containing an insecticidal effective amount of the compound (I) as an active ingredient, and a carrier therefor. 
     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     After intensive studies were made to solve the above-mentioned problem, it was surprisingly found that the compound represented by the above formula (I) has a superior insecticidal spectrum and insecticidal performance, particularly an extremely high insecticidal activity against Hemiptera, Diptera, Tylenchoida, Aphelenchoida, and exhibits substantially no chemical damage to crops. 
     The present compound is a novel compound not found in known literature. The R 1  to R 6  and R and R&#39; in the formula (I) are as defined above, and preferably R 1  and R 2  are each a methyl group, and R 4  is a t-butyl group or 1-methyl-cyclopropyl group. 
     Representative compounds of the compounds of the present invention are exemplified in Table 1. 
     The NMR values in the Table were measured at 60 MHz in deutero-chloroform with tetramethylsilane as the standard substance. The symbols s, d, tr, q, m indicate that the respective peak patterns are singlet, doublet, triplet, quartet, and multiplet, and br indicates a broad peak pattern. 
     The following descriptions are shown by the compound Nos. in the Table.

     Chilo suppressalis; etc. 
     As the mites, there can be included, for example: 
     Tetranychus urticae; 
     Panonychus citri; 
     Aculops pelekassi; etc. 
     The insecticide can be also used in the form of a single compound without the addition of other components, when practically applied, but to make it readily available as the control chemical, generally a carrier is formulated into a preparation and is diluted if necessary before use. When forming the insecticide of the present invention into a preparation, no special conditions need be met, and it can be prepared in any desired dosage form such as an emulsion, wettable agent, powder, or granules, etc., by conventionally well known methods for general agricultural chemicals. As the carrier, there may be included inorganic materials such as clays, talc, bentonite, calcium carbonate, diatomaceous earth, zeolite, and anhydrous silicic acid; vegetable organic materials such as wheat, starch, and crystalline cellulose; polymeric compounds such as petroleum resin, polyvinyl chloride, and polyalkylene glycol; urea; waxes; and so on. As the liquid carrier, various oils, organic solvents, and water may be included. Further, auxiliary agents required in the preparation, such as humectants, dispersing agents, anchoring agents, and extenders, can be used either alone or in combination, if necessary. As auxiliary agents used for such purposes as wetting, dispersing, extending, component stabilization, and rust prevention, etc., there may be included various surfactants, polymeric compounds such as gelatin, albumin, sodium alginate, methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, and xanthane gum, and other auxiliary agents. As surfactants, there may be included nonionic surfactants such as polymerized products of ethylene oxide with alkylphenol, higher alcohol, alkylnaphthol, higher fatty acid, fatty acid ester, and dialkylphosphoric acid amine; polymerized products of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide; anionic surfactants, including alkylsulfates such as sodium laurylsulfate; alkylsulfonates such as sodium 2-ethylhexylsulfonate; arylsulfonates such as sodium ligninsulfonate, sodium and dodecylbenzenesulfonate; and various cationic and amphoteric surfactants. 
     Also, by mixing the insecticide with other physiologically active substances, multi-purpose agricultural chemicals can be made. As the physiologically active substances, there are known insecticides and acaricides, and further, sterilizers, nematocides, herbicides, plant controllers, fertilizers, BT agents, nuclear polyhedrosis virus, and insect hormone agents. Specific examples of these physiologically active substances are set forth below.
