Provided is a triazole compound which has remarkably excellent pest-controlling activity, namely, optically active (+)-1-[2- fluoro-4-methyl-5-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylsulfinyl)phenyl]-5-namino-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (formula (I)). The triazole compound can be obtained by subjecting racemic 1-[2-fluoro-4-methyl-5-(2,2,2-trifluoroethylsulfinyl)phenyl]-5-amino-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole to optical resolution. |
