A near-ring N is reduced if, for $a{in}N,;a^2=0$ implies a=0, and N is left strongly regular if for all $a{in}N$ there exists $x{in}N$ such that $a=xa^2$. Mason introduced this notion and characterized left strongly regular zero-symmetric unital near-rings. Several authors ([2], [5], [7]) studied these properties in near-rings. Reddy and Murty extended some results in Mason to the non-zero symmetric case. In this paper, we will define a concept of strong reducedness and investigate a relation between strongly reduced near-rings and left strongly regular near-rings.
