In this paper we report the measurement of the rate of the single {pi}{sup o} production in the K2K close detector. Neutral current single {pi}{sup o} production is measured in Oxygen, in the 1 KT detector. The cross section ratio relative to the total charged current cross section is found to be: 0.063{+-}0.001(stat.){+-}0.006(syst.) in good agreement with the Monte Carlo expectation. Inclusive charged current {pi}{sup o} production is measured in C{sub 8}H{sub 8}, in the SciBar detector, the cross section ratio for these processes relative to the charged current quasi elastic neutrino cross section is found to be 0.306{+-}0.023(stat.){+-}0.025(syst.) showing an excess of (39{+-}15)% (statistical and systematic error added in quadrature) with respect to the prediction of our reference Monte Carlo.
