morning all    what can you spray on peas to stop the maggots getting in   and when to spray

[DD.]

You're far better off making an earlish sowing such as end of March/early April, to avoid the worst of the pea moth, or fleecing the peas, rather than dumping chemicals on them.

RHS says

Chemical control

Chemical control can be avoided by the use of insect-proof mesh and is difficult as plants in flower should not be sprayed due to the danger to pollinating insects. Advice in the past has been to spray the plants with an approved pesticide once at the beginning of flowering and again two weeks later. Alternatively spraying with an insecticide when most of the flowers have gone over and pods are beginning to form may give some control, suitable insecticides include the synthetic pyrethroids deltamethrin (e.g. Bayer Sprayday Greenfly Killer) or lambda-cyhalothrin (e.g. Westland Resolva Bug Killer). The label instructions for the crop must be followed.
