We investigate the QCD effects in the associated production of the chargino and the neutralino, {chi}-tilde{sub 1}{sup {+-}} and {chi}-tilde{sub 2}{sup 0}, in the minimal supersymmetric standard model at both the Fermilab Tevatron and the CERN Large Hadron Collider. We include the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections (including supersymmetric QCD) and the threshold resummation effects. Our results show that, compared to the NLO predictions, the threshold resummation effects can increase the total cross sections by 3.6% and 3.9% for the associated production of {chi}-tilde{sub 1}{sup +}{chi}-tilde{sub 2}{sup 0} and {chi}-tilde{sub 1}{sup -}{chi}-tilde{sub 2}{sup 0} at the LHC, respectively, and by 4.7% for those of {chi}-tilde{sub 1}{sup {+-}}{chi}-tilde{sub 2}{sup 0} at the Tevatron. In the invariant mass distributions the resummation effects are significant for large invariant mass. The threshold resummation reduces the dependence of the total cross sections at the LHC (Tevatron) on the renormalization/factorization scales to 5% (4%) from up to 7% (11%) at NLO.
