Many plants contain mixtures of volatile monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, called essential oils examples- Peppermint, lemon, basil, and sage 

Chief monoterpene constituent of peppermint oil is menthol; that of lemon oil is limonene

Essential oils have well-known insect repellent properties.

Essential oils can be extracted from plants by steam distillation and are important commercially in flavoring foods and making perfumes

Flavonoids may protect against damage by ultraviolet Light

Isoflavonoids have antimicrobial activity

Isoflavonoids are found mostly in legumes such as the rotenoids, have strong insecticidal actions; others have anti-estrogenic effects. 

For example, sheep grazing on clover rich in isoflavonoids often suffer from infertility
