Popis: The aim of this research was to gather together the dairy farms of the José Antonio Echeverría Strengthened Coop-erative of Credits and Services (CCSF) in the province of Camaguey, Cuba, according to the frequency of application or no application of agroecological practices, and their relationship to some bioproductive variables of economic interest. Information compiled for three years was used. Three groups were made, based on hierarchical clustering analysis. The grouping system used was the link between groups. The measure criteria used was the squared Euclid-ean distance from agroecological practices by the farmers. SPSS 21.0 was used for statistical analysis. The groups made were considered the factor to perform variance analysis (ANOVA) to with eight dependent variables. The Tukey´s multiple comparison test was made to the variables that showed differences for P < 0.05. A total of seven out of ten agroecological practices applied with effects on the behavior of bioproductive indicators were identified. Group three included the farms with the best results, and the highest number of agroecological practices.
