Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT In regions with limited water resources, efficient use of water has become increasingly essential for agricultural production. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the use of the carnauba palm bagana (leaf fibers) as an option of ground cover to reduce the use of water in irrigated radish. The study was conducted from July to October 2018 in two crop cycles in Pentecoste-CE, Brazil. The experiment was carried out in randomized blocks with split plots and four replicates, whose primary treatments consisted of five irrigation depths (50%; 75%; 100%; 125% and 150% of the evapotranspiration crop) and secondary treatments consisted of five different levels of ground cover using carnauba bagana (0%; 25%; 50%; 75% and 100% of 16 t ha-1), in a 5 x 5 interaction, totaling 100 experimental plots. The following variables were evaluated: fresh mass of shoots and tuber, plant height, number of leaves, tuber diameter and gas exchange. For tuber fresh mass in the first crop cycle, a first order model was obtained with the response surface, with linear increase of the factors irrigation depths (0.064 g plant-1) and ground cover (0.065 g plant-1), with the highest value (40.44 g plant-1) observed for the level of 150% ETcloc and 100% bagana. Application of 16 t ha-1 of carnauba bagana can be considered recommended, within the limits studied, for use in the radish crop. RESUMO Em regiões com limitações de recursos hídricos o uso eficiente da água torna-se a cada dia imprescindível para a produção agrícola. Objetivou-se com o presente trabalho avaliar o uso da bagana de carnaúba como opção de cobertura vegetal para a redução do uso da água no cultivo do rabanete irrigado. A pesquisa foi conduzida no período de julho a outubro de 2018 em dois ciclos de produção no município de Pentecoste-CE. O experimento foi em blocos ao acaso com parcelas subdivididas e constituído de quatro repetições, sendo os tratamentos primários constituídos por cinco lâminas de irrigação (50%; 75%; 100%; 125% e 150% da evapotranspiração da cultura localizada) e os tratamentos secundários constituídos por cinco níveis de cobertura vegetal, constituída de bagana de carnaúba (0%; 25%; 50%; 75% e 100% de 16 t ha-1), em uma interação 5 x 5, totalizando 100 parcelas experimentais. Foram avaliadas as variáveis massa fresca da parte aérea e túbera, altura de plantas, número de folhas, diâmetro da túbera e trocas gasosas. Para a variável massa fresca da túbera no primeiro ciclo de produç
