I use a natural seed treatment product on my soybeans that should work just as well on peas called HiStick N/T. containing rhizobial and bacillus subtilis... Bob.

Had a patch of ground that last summer was tilled, rock picked, and then seeded
 
with oats, annual alfalfa and white clover. Never did see any of the alfalfa. It was 
 
mowed a few times, each time thickened up the clover and this spring it looked
 
like a going concern.
 
Early Aprill I tilled and planted peas; year old Lincoln and Green Arrow from Fedco and
 
my own growing, fresh Cascadia from Fedco, and Premium from Johnnies just to have some
 
treated in the game; all innoculated.   After a week the Premium came up....thats all, and at
 
an inch and a half tall they stopped. Digging in there was not a sign of a seed anywhere,
 
except the Premiums and they only had a flabby brown tap root.
 
About April 20 I got some Seedway seed (untreated) and planted over all but the Premiums
 
 but after six days there was not a sign of them, they were totally disolved, melted, rotted and gone.
 
Looks kind of silly out there, those few peas from 2/3 to a few at 10 inches tall and all loaded
 
with blossoms!
 
SO, what I would like to know is "What in Thunderation is Going on"?
