We study np{yields}{lambda}{theta}{sup +} and np{yields}{sigma}{sup 0}{theta}{sup +} processes for both of the positive and negative parities of the {theta}{sup +}. Employing the effective chiral Lagrangians for the KNY and K*NY interactions, we calculate differential cross sections as well as total cross sections for the np{yields}{sigma}{sup 0}{theta}{sup +} and np{yields}{lambda}{theta}{sup +} reactions. The total cross sections for the positive parity {theta}{sup +} turn out to be approximately 10 times larger than those for the negative parity {theta}{sup +} in the range of the c.m. energy E{sub c.m.}{sup th}{<=}E{sub c.m.}{<=}3.5 GeV. The results are rather sensitive to the parameters of K exchanges in the t channel.
