The article presents data on the relationship of cycads with field crops on the newly developed lands of the Jizzakh and Hungry steppes on grassy and stunted vegetation. In our region, the appearance of oligophages is typical for cereals, Asteraceae, legumes, and many other plant families. The data on the food specialization of the species found in the Hungry Steppe are consistent with the literature for individual species, and new information on relationships with host plants has been clarified. Most of the cycad species in the studied region are associated with wild cereals. Representatives of the Marev family are among the widespread and characteristic groups of plants in the steppe part and on saline soils. In our region, 12 species were found on corn, 26 on alfalfa, 6 on cotton, 3 on beets, 13 on wheat, 13 on barley, and 2 species of cycads on potatoes
