An early sowing, say end of March, Early April will avoid the worst of the pea moth. Failing that fleece the row to stop them getting in.

Non-orgainic wise, spray as the flowers begin to open.

Quote from: Royal Horticultural Society
If the level of infestation in previous years has been sufficient to cause real problems, the plants can be sprayed with an insecticide, such as deltamethrin (Bayer Sprayday Greenfly Killer) or lambda-cyhalothrin (Westland Plant Rescue Fruit & Vegetable Bug Killer).
