Default Moth grub on peas

I was shelling peas this morning and have noticed a very large number, more
than any other year. About 50% have the moth.
I won't be saving seed this year.
How can I prevent it next year?


I sowed Early Onward last autumn under a tunnel. Masses of peas, not one
maggot. 4 sowings made this year produced about 50% with maggots.. Lesson
there?
