We investigate the NLO QCD and the CP-violation effects in ttZ{sup 0} production at the LHC in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Our calculation shows that the total NLO QCD correction in the framework of the CP-conserving MSSM significantly improves the scale uncertainty at the leading order, and the contribution from the pure supersymmetric QCD (pSQCD) correction can exceed -8% with the restrictions of 90 GeV<p{sub T}{sup t}<120 GeV and 120 GeV<p{sub T}{sup Z}<150 GeV, where p{sub T}{sup t} and p{sub T}{sup Z} are the transverse momenta of the top quark and Z{sup 0} gauge boson, respectively. Our numerical results demonstrate that the pure supersymmetric QCD correction generally suppresses the total standard model-like QCD correction in the CP-conserving MSSM, and tends to be a constant when either t-tilde{sub 1} or g-tilde is heavy enough. We find also that the CP-odd asymmetry A{sub {Phi}}can reach 2.17x10{sup -3}, if the CP-phase angle really exists in the coupling of gluino-stop-top.
