The change in the electrical conductivity of manganite films upon microwave pumping in the magnetic resonance conditions is investigated. The temperature dependence of the effect correlates with the temperature variation of colossal magnetoresistance (CMR), passing through a maximum at the Curie point. The results are interpreted using a model that assumes a decrease in the absolute value vertical bar M vertical bar of the magnetic moment of the sample under the action of magnetoresonant saturation, which leads to an increase in resistance in accordance with the CMR mechanism. Theoretical analysis based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation confirms the correctness of this model and ensures good agreement with experiment.
