We present new sets of fragmentation functions for neutral kaons, both at leading and next-to-leading order. They are fitted to data on inclusive {ital K}{sup 0} production in {ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}} annihilation taken by Mark II at SLAC PEP ({radical}{ital s}=29 GeV) and by ALEPH at CERN LEP. Our fragmentation functions lead to a good description of other {ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}} data on inclusive {ital K}{sup 0} production at various energies. They also nicely agree with the {ital K}{sup 0}{sub {ital S}} transverse-momentum spectra measured by H1 at the DESY {ital ep} collider HERA, by UA5 at the CERN S{ital p{bar p}S} collider, and by CDF at the Fermilab Tevatron. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
