Abstract: I. I. Zokirov, D. A. Azimov for the first time the entomofauna of vegetables and melons of Central Fergana was determined, consisting of 149 species and 6 subspecies belonging to 113 genera, 32 families and 7 orders.2 species (Trifidaphis phaseoli (Passerini, 1860), Eurydema oleracea (Linnaeus, 1758)) and one subspecies (Aphis frangulae beccabungae Koch, 1855) are new for the entomofauna of Uzbekistan, 19 species for the entomofauna of Central Fergana.18 invasive species have been found that are found on more than 20 species of cultivated plants, of which 3 species (Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller, 1873), Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917), Myiopardalis pardalina Bigot, 1891) are serious quarantine pests. The main directions of functioning of the phytophagus host system in the following ecological groups were identified: rhizophages 34 species (21.9 %), phyllophages and lymphophages 120 species (77.4 %), anthophages 32 species (20.6 %), carpophages - 15 species (9.7 %) and holofagi - 7 species (4.5 %). These groups are formed due to trophic competition and existing ecological niches.
