ABSTRACT = {<i>Pinus devoniana</i> is one of the most widely distributed species of <i>Pinus</i> in Mexico, and has a relevant economic and ecological importance. In this work, the effect of inoculating juvenile <i>P. devoniana</i> plants with the rhizobacteria <i>Arthrobacter agilis</i> UMCV2, and its dimethylhexadecylamine compound was studied under greenhouse conditions. Our results showed that <i>A. agilis</i> UMCV2 promoted growth of <i>P. devoniana</i> as a result of increases on height and stem diameter, fresh weight and <i>chlorophyll concentrations</i>. Under our experimental conditions, the bacterial dimethylhexadecylamine compound produced an increase in the concentration of chlorophyll. These data show the feasibility of using <i>A. agilis</i> UMCV to significantly enhance the growth rate of <i>P. devoniana</i> at a greenhouse scale.},
