Although a variety of pest control agents have been used over the years, many of them have various problems, for example, their effectiveness and use are limited due to the resistance of pests. Therefore,It is hoped to develop a pest control agent, which is unlikely to have such pests. One of the purposes of this document is to provide an active compound or salt resistant to insect pests. 1. This list refers to an N - (4-pyridyl) nicotine compound. 1. Characteristic 1: a n - (4-pyridyl) nicotine compound, represented by formula (1),wherein R¹ is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl, a haloalkyl, an alkoxy, a haloalkoxy, an aryloxy group or a haloalkylaryl; R² is a halogen atom, an alkyl, a haloalkyl, an alkoxy, a haloalkoxy, an amino, a monoalkylamino, a dialkylamino, an aryloxy, a cyano, an alkylthio, an alkylsulfinyl or an alkylsulfonyl; R³ is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, a cycloalkyl, a haloalkyl, an alkoxy, an alkoxyalkyl, an alkylcarbonyl or an alkoxycarbonyl; R⁴ is a halogen atom, a nitro, an alkyl, an alkenyl, an alkynyl, a haloalkyl, an alkoxy, an alkylthio, an alkylcarbonyl, a haloalkylcarbonyl,1. Cyclopentadiene, dioxides, a (pitch) carbide or a pyrdiene; m is the integer 0 to 3; R2 can be the same or different in the presence of multiple tracks;Or salt.Si bien durante muchos años se han usado una gran variedad de agentes de control de plagas, muchos de estos agentes de control de plagas tienen diversos problemas, tales como una efectividad insuficiente y la restricción en el uso de los mismos debido a la resistencia adquirida por las plagas, y similares. Por lo tanto, se desea desarrollar un agente de control de plagas que es menos probable que tenga tales inconvenientes. Uno de los objetivos de la presente es proporcionar un compuesto altamente activo o una sal del mismo contra una plaga. La presente se refiere a un compuesto de N-(4-piridil)nicotinamida. Reivindicación 1: Un compuesto de N-(4-piridil)nicotinamida representado por la fórmula (1), en e
