This study mapped Scopus-indexed open-access literature published from 2015–2025 using a bibliometric approach. The initial search retrieved 166 English-language articles; after title–abstract relevance screening against prespecified criteria, 109 records were analyzed. Analyses covered publication trends, source and author productivity, citations, and author-keyword co-occurrence using VOSviewer 1.6.21. The final network contained 56 keywords, eight clusters, 200 links, and a total link strength of 343. Baculovirus and SeMNPV formed the conceptual core, together with biological control, Beauveria bassiana, Bacillus thuringiensis, and parasitoid-related themes. The findings indicate the dominance of microbial control and highlight opportunities for stronger IPM integration, field validation, and implementation.
